## Discrepancy

THE RT MAGNETO WAS REMOVED TO ACCESS A HYD PUMP.  WHILE THE MAGNETO WAS REMOVED, THE DISTRIBUTOR WAS INSPECTED FOR LOOSENESS OF THE BUSHING DUE TO PREVIOUS FAILURES ON THIS TYPE OF MAGNETO.  THE DISTRIBUTOR WAS FOUND TO HAVE A LOOSE BUSHING & THE MAGNETO WAS REPLACED WITH SERVICEABLE.  MAGNETO HAD 716.1 HOURS SINCE OVERHAUL & 273.6 SINCE 500 HOUR INSPECTION.
