## Discrepancy

FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND ADDITIONAL DEBRIS IN THE OIL FILTER. #3 CYLINDER WAS REMOVED AND INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF THE ENGINE INSPECTED. DEBRIS SOURCE WAS IDENTIFIED TO BE A CAM SHAFT LOB AND LIFTER. ENGINE WAS REMOVED AND SENT TO AN OVERHAUL FACILITY FOR REPAIR. TEAR DOWN REPORTS HAVE INDICATED CAM FAILURE AND MAIN JOURNAL BEARINGS AS THE SOURCE OF THE ENGINE OIL SYSTEM CONTAMINATES.
