## Discrepancy

(CAN) BOTH LOWER ENGINE MOUNT FITTINGS P/N 50-980002-185 CONTAINING THE ENGINE MOUNT BARREL NUTS WERE FOUND LOOSE BY LIFTING ON THE NON ENGINE MOUNT AND OBSERVING THE LOWER LEGS OF THE MOUNT IN RELATION TO THE FIREWALL. THE OB FITTING HAD MORE MOVEMENT THAN THE IB.  AN ENGINE MOUNT WOULD TAKE A HARDER LIFT TO SHOW MOVEMENT. THE FASTENERS ARE VISIBLE THROUGH THE NACELLE SIDE HATCHES. IF LOOSE THEY COULD EXHIBIT HEAVY SMOKING AND A BLACK GREASE LIKE BUILDUP AT EACH FASTENER. (TC NR 20060427000)
