## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT ARRIVED WITH RIGHT ENGINE OIL LEAK.  FOUND OIL LINE TO BE LEAKING.  REPAIRED OIL LINE AND SERVICED BACK UP WITH OIL.  ENGINE WAS RERUN AND A ROD CAME LOOSE AND PENETRATED THE CRANKCASE.  NO OTHER INFORMATION WAS RECEIVED, EXCEPT THAT THE ENGINE RAN OUT OF OIL DURING FLIGHT, WHICH PROBABLY CAUSED THE ROD TO SEPERATE.  AN OVERHAULED ENGINE  WAS RECEIVED AND INSTALLED.
