## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING A ROUTINE 100 HRS INSPECTION, WE FOUND THAT THE NOSE GEAR STEERING HORN WAS RUBBING WITH THE FRONT ENGINE MOUNT.  HORN AND RUB BLOCK WERE REMOVED AND TRIMMED TO ENSURE CLEARANCE BETWEEN ENGINE MOUNT AND STEERING HORN.  ENGINE MOUNT DAMAGE INSPECTED FOR CRACKS USING DYE PENETRANT AND NO CRACKS FOUND.  A DOUBLER WAS WELDED OVER DENT AND REFINISHED.  ALL WORK DONE UNDER REO PA-46-500TP.
