## Discrepancy

ENGINE WAS DISASSEMBLED FOR INSPECTION DUE TO PROPELLER STRIKE. UPON DISASSEMBLY IT WAS NOTED THAT THE CONNECTING ROD BUSHING HAS MIGRATED PARTLY  OUT OF THE BORE ON THE SMALL END OF CONNECTING ROD #2, #3, & #5.  THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THAT WE HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL ENGINE.
