## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHILE CONDUCTING A 50 HR INSPECTION, THE OIL FILTER SHOWED EVIDENCE OF METAL CONTAMINATION.  THERE HAVE BEEN NO COMPLAINTS FROM PILOTS IN REGARDS TO ENGINE OPERATION OR PARAMETERS. THE PARTICLES EVIDENT ARE ALUMINUM AND FEW METALLIC. THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE AIRCRAFT FOR OVERHAUL AND FURTHER INVESTIGATION. ONCE THAT REPORT HAS BEEN ISSUED WE WILL SUBMIT THE FURTHER FINDINGS.
