## Discrepancy

THE CESSNA SM AND LYC ENGINE OVERHAUL DO NOT CONTAIN THE REQUIREMENT TO USE A PROPELLER GOV PAD PLATE, PN LW-12347, WHEN INSTALLING A MCCAULEY GOVERNOR ON LYC 4 OR 6 CYLINDER ENGINE WITH REAR MOUNTED DUEL MAG INSTALLATIONS. THIS PLATE WAS LEFT OUT DURING REINSTALLATION OF THE ENGINE AND THE ACFT MADE A FORCED LANDING DUE TO LOSS OF ENGINE OIL THROUGH THE GOVERNOR ADAPTER PLATE SCREW.
