What was found

REMOVED ALL HYDRAULIC LIFTERS TO INSPECT FOR SPALLING, DISCOVERED BADLY SPALLED EXHAUST LIFTER ON CYLINDER #4. INSPECTED CAM IN ACCORDANCE WITH CONTINENTAL SERVICE DIRECTIVE SID05-1B, INSTALLED NEW LIFTER AND WILL INSPECT CAM AGAIN IN 100 HOURS. IT IS DOUBTFUL THAT THIS 1900 HOUR ENGINE WILL MAKE TBO BEFORE NEEDING A NEW CAM. WE ARE NOW INSPECTING LIFTERS EVERY 200 HOURS.
