## Discrepancy

(CAN) ENGINE CHIP PLUG INDICATED CHIPS & THEN PLUG CLEANED & INSPECTED, SHOWING NO SLIVERS, ONLY PASTE. NEXT DAY AFTER 50 MINS OF FLT, FLUXS OCCURRED ON FUEL & OIL PRESSURES&NG&THEN ENGINE FLAMED-OUT. SUBSEQUENTLY, SINGLE ENGINE LANDING CARRIED OUT AT LOGGING WORK SITE.

METAL THEN CLOGGED OIL FILTER WHICH WENT INTO BYPASS&THEN CONTAMINATED ALL BEARINGS WHICH FAILED INSP. COMPRESSOR SPOOL&CASES WERE RED-TAGGED BECAUSE OF HOT SPOTS FROM RUBBING WHICH WERE CAUSED BY HIGH VIBRATIONS.
