## Discrepancy

DURING ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, METAL SHAVINGS WERE FOUND IN OIL FILTER AND SCREEN.  SHAVINGS WERE MAGNETIC.  THESE ENGINES DO HAVE WEAR ISSUES ON CAM AND LIFTERS.  AFTER REMOVING OIL PAN, FOUND CAM BAD AND LIFTER WEAR.  OIL ANALYSIS DIDN`T PICK UP LARGER MICRON IN OIL.  RECOMMEND INSPECTION OF CAM AND LIFTER BEFORE 1000 HOUR.  REMOVED OIL PAN ON RT ENGINES AND FOUND BEAD WEAR AS WELL.  NO METAL IN FILTER.  (K)
