## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHEN COMPLETING A 300 HOUR INSPECTION THE MECHANIC FOUND THE TWO LOWER ATTACHMENT BOLTS AT THE ENGINE MOUNT TO ENGINE SHOCK MOUNT TO BE LOOSE. THEY REQUIRED MINIMUM OF HALF A TURN TO BRING THEM TO PROPER TORQUE. ALTHOUGH RE-TORQUING THE ENGINE MOUNT TO FIREWALL BOLTS IS MENTIONED IN THE INSPECTION PACKAGE THE RE-TORQUING OF THE ENGINE TO ENGINE SHOCK MOUNTS IS NOT A REQUIREMENT.
