## Discrepancy

DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, OIL LINE B-NUT WAS LOOSENED, IT WAS NOTED THAT LINE MOVED AWAY FROM MATING CONNECTOR APPROX .2500 INCH.  A SPRING SCALE WAS USED TO PULL THE LINE BACK INTO PLACE, IT REQUIRED 45 LBS OF FORCE TO DO SO.  THE MFG WAS CONTACTED, PRINT OF PART WAS OBTAINED AND PART WAS MEASURED.  (PRINT DIM: 26.1 CM, PART DIM: 25.7 CM) NEW LINES WERE ORDERED, 2 NEW LINES WERE ALSO TOO SHORT.  THESE ARE ENGINE OIL LINES TO THE THERMAL BYPASS VALVE.
