## Discrepancy

FOUND 2 PIECES OF METAL IN THE OIL SUMP SUCTION SCREEN DURING ANNUAL INSPECTION.  ONE PIECE LOOKS LIKE A DRILLED OUT HELI COIL .5 INCH LONG X .25 WIDE AND THE OTHER LOOKS LIKE A PIECE OF CASTING .2 LONG X .125 WIDE.  THE ENGINE WILL BE REMOVED AND SENT OUT FOR TEARDOWN AND INSPECTION.
