## Discrepancy

THIS ENG WAS RECEIVED IN OVERHAULED CONDITION IN PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION ON THE ACFT.  DURING INSPECTION OF THIS ENG PRIOR TO INSTALLATION ON ACFT, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FUEL PUMP INLET FITTING AS ALIGNED FROM THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT ALLOW THE 3/16" CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE FUEL LINE & THE TURBOCHARGER SUPPORT BRACKET.  THE PUMP WILL BE REMOVED & THE FITTING REPOSITIONED BEFORE INSTALLATION TO THE ACFT.
