## Discrepancy

(CAN) AIRCRAFT DEPARTED ENROUTE TO A FIRE. PILOT NOTED THE OIL TEMP ON NR 2 ENGINE WAS VERY HIGH. THE ENGINE WAS SHUTDOWN AND THE PROPELLER WAS FEATHERED. THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED AND LANDED. UPON INVESTIGATION BY MAINTENANCE STAFF, THE MAIN OIL SCREEN WAS FOUND TO BE CONTAMINATED WITH BRONZE MATERIAL. IT APPEARS THAT THE MAIN BEARING FAILED. THE ENGINE IS BEING REPLACED WITH A SERVICEABLE UNIT AND THE AIRCRAFT WILL BE RETURNED TO SERVICE. (TC NR 20060829002)
