## Discrepancy

(CAN) SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF, UPON GEARUP INDICATION, POWER WAS REDUCED AND THE #1 ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE WAS AT THE TOP OF THE RED LINE. THE OIL COOLER DOOR WAS OPENED. THE #1 ENGINE OIL PRESSURE WAS 60 PSI LOWER THAN THE #2 ENGINE OIL PRESSURE. #1 ENGINE OIL PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE WERE MONITORED FOR 2 MINUTES AND POWER WAS REDUCED. HIGH OIL TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE #1 ENGINE WAS SHUTDOWN AND THE AIRCRAFT LANDED. POST FLIGHT INSPECTION FOUND A STEADY LOSS OF OIL AND 3 BENT PUSH RODS - ALL ON THE BOTTOM CYLINDERS. THE ENGINE WAS REMOVED AND WILL BE SENT TO AN OVERHAUL FACILITY FOR INVESTIGATION.
