Unsafe Condition
Inadequate retention of the existing left-hand (LH) oil scavenge pump rotor allows the rotor to machine its way through the LH end plate. Axial migration of the right-hand (RH) scavenge pump rotor causes damage to the washers and seals, leading to hydraulic and engine oil mixing and metal shavings being released into the engine oil system.
