## Discrepancy

OLD ENGINE SEPARATOR WAS CRACKED.  ORDERED NEW PART.  INSPECTED NEW PART AND COULD NOT BLOW THROUGH IT.  THE AIR OUTLET TUBE WAS BLOCKED INTERNALLY.  NEW OUT OF BOX FAILURE.  IF THIS UNIT WAS INSTALLED ON THE ENGINE IT WOULD HAVE PRESSURIZED THE CASE AND LEAD TO POSSIBLE ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO ENGINE OIL LOSS.
