## Discrepancy

A CUSTOMER ENGINE WAS RECEIVED AS AN EXCHANGE TO BE INSTALLED IN A AS35B3 HELICOPTER. A PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION FOUND SIGNIFICANT METAL CONTAMINATION IN THE OIL SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE FILTER AND MAG PLUGS.  THE ENGINE WAS RECEIVED WITH AN 8130-3 INDICATING THAT A 800HR INSPECTION HAD BEEN COMPLETED (THIS INCLUDES A MAG PLUG INSPECTION.) SEVERAL OTHER DISCREPANCIES WITH THE DOCUMENTATION FOR THIS ENGINE WERE FOUND AND A SUP FORM 8120-11 IS BEING SUBMITTED.
