## Discrepancy

(CAN) 914F-3 (TURBOCHARGED) ENGINE WAS BEING OVERHAULED (10 YEARS IN SERVICE) AND THE FORWARD CRANKSHAFT BUSHING IN THE GEARBOX HOUSING WAS FOUND SEIZED TO THE CRANKSHAFT AND LOOSE IN THE HOUSING. THE BUSHING IS PRESSED INTO THE HOUSING AT MANUFACTURE AND IS NOT REPLACEABLE. THE GEARBOX HOUSING WAS REPLACED UNDER GOODWILL WARRANTY.
