## Discrepancy

RIGHT MAGNETO REJECTED AS PAWL RIVETS WERE EXTREMELY WORN. THE PAWL RIVETS CONTINUALLY STRUCK THE HOUSING OF THE MAGNETO, SHAVING OFF METAL, AND CONTAMINATING THE ENGINE WITH NON-FERROUS METAL. RECOMMEND TO INSPECT THE METOLOGY OF THE RIVETS FOR CORRECT TEMPER, WHICH IF NOT FOUND, THE PAWLS COULD COME APART AND POSSIBLY CAUSE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER.
