## Discrepancy

WHILE EN ROUTE TO CVG FROM PIT, IN CRUISE CONFIGURATION, THE CREW FELT A SHUDDER IN THE LEFT ENGINE.  FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER FELT ANOTHER SHUDDER AND AGAIN ONE MINUTE LATER WITH A LARGE TORQUE SWING AND OIL QUANTITY DROP.  THE OIL LOSS WAS FASTER THAN THE CAPACITY OF THE OIL TRANSFER PUMP TO HANDLE.  THE CREW FEATHERED THE LEFT ENGIEN AND DIVERTED TO LCK MX BASE.  LANDED UNEVENTFULLY AT LCK.  AN EXAM OF THE OIL FILTER HAS REVEALED A LARGE AMOUNT OF FERROUS METAL.  THE LEFT ENGINE WILL BE REMOVED AND REPLACED. (M)
