## Discrepancy

OWNER-PILOT REPORTED BAD MAGNETO CHECK.  RIGHT ENGINE LEFT MAGNETO INVESTIGATION FOUND LEFT MAGNETO WAS SEIZED AND COULD NOT BE TURNED BY HAND.  PREVIOUSLY IT WAS THE RIGHT MAGNETO.  REASON  FOR MAG SEIZING IS EXCESSIVE HEAT,  ALSO BEING PRESSURIZED.  NO LOGS AVAILABLE FOR TIME ON PART.
