## 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 MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, A PRINT OF THE PART WAS OBTAINED AND THE 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.
