What was found
AIRCRAFT CAME IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE, OWNER NOTICED BENDIX DRIVE SHAFT BEARING LYING IN THE COWLING. STARTER WAS O/H. THE BEARING WAS A SLIP FIT TO THE HOUSING. I WOULD RECOMMEND BETTER TOLERANCE CONTROL AT OVERHAUL, AND REMIND ALL MECHANICS TO PERFORM SOME SORT OF INCOMING PARTS INSPECTION. (K)
