## Discrepancy

(CAN) PILOT REPORTED NR 1 ENGINE CHIP DETECTOR LIGHT CAME ON 6 MINUTES AFTER TAKEOFF. THE ENGINE WAS SHUTDOWN AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO BASE.  REMOVAL OF CHIP DETECTOR REVEALED A LARGE PIECE OF METAL ACROSS THE LUGS.  THE ENGINE WAS A LOANER AND WAS RETURNED TO THE OVERHAUL FACILITY FOR DISPOSITION.  THE ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN SPLIT TO DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF THE METAL.  PART TC:  718.
