## Discrepancy

(CAN) RT ENGINE OIL FILTER SEPARATED FROM HSG SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF. ENGINE SHUTDOWN IN-FLIGHT. ACFT LANDED SAFELY. ACD REMOTE OIL FILTER HSG THREADED STUD FOUND CRACKED. ONE PORTION OF THREADED STUD REMAINED IN FILTER AND THE OTHER HALF REMAINED IN THE FILTER HSG.  RT REMOTE FILTER HSG THREADED STUD FOUND TO HAVE 0.020" WALL THICKNESS AT THE NON-THREADED PORTION.  LT ENGINE ACD REMOTE FILTER HSG INSPECTED AND THREADED STUD FOUND TO HAVE ONLY 0.017" WALL THICKNESS AT THE NON-THREADED PORTION.  SUSPECT THAT BOTH PARTS WERE INCORRECTLY MACHINED.  A REPLACEMENT PART FROM MFG HAD 0.060" WALL THICKNESS.
