## Discrepancy

OPERATORS WERE NOTIFIED AIRCRAFT'S ENGINE CONTAINED A PISTON PIN FROM THE BATCH LISTED IN LYC SB 527C.  AIRCRAFT WAS REMOVED FROM SERVICE AND ALL CYLINDERS REMOVED TO VISUALLY INSPECT FOR BATCH NR 17328.  CYLINDER NR 5 REVEALED BROKEN PIN.  NUMERS WERE NOT CLEARLY VISIBLE, SO ALL PINS WERE CHANGED WITH NEW PINS DIRECT FROM LYCOMING.
