## Discrepancy

DURING A ROUTINE INSPECTION 300 HR, MECHANIC REMOVED THE FITTING TO INSPECT THE NR 6 - 7 NOZZLE.  METAL WAS FOUND IN & AROUND THE SCREEN.  THIS IS NONFERROUS METAL.  THE OIL PUMP IS COMING APART.  THE ENG IS REMOVED & WAITING FOR NEW ONE TO ARRIVE.  OIL SAMPLE TAKEN, CHIPS ARE ON A SHEET TO BE SENT OUT FOR ANALYSIS.
