## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

AFTER TAKE-OFF THE CHIP DETECTOR CAME OUT AND ALL THE OIL WAS DUMPED OUT THE CHIP DETECTOR HOUSING DUE TO A 1/4 INCH BOLT ABOUT 2 INCHES LONG WAS LODGED AGAINST THE CHECK VALVE WHICH IS SPRING LOADED TO THE CLOSED POSITION. TIME SINCE LAST SHOP VISIT ON THIS ENGINE WAS 7734 HOURS AND 2888 CYCLES.  THE LAST SHOP VISIT WAS PERFORMED BY ROLLS ROYCE AT DARBY.  THE BOLT PART NUMBER WAS TRACED FROM THE IPC AND THE ONLY PLACE THIS BOLT IS LOCATED AT IS THE ENGINE COMBUSTION INTERMEDIATE CASE.  IT MUST HAVE BEEN IN THE SUMP SINCE LAST SHOP VISIT.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
