It's is often used as a layer in rod and crankshaft bearings.

We (SN37) have 75 hours. First DA50 (SN31) got its engine exchanged and is back flying. So things are moving.

we got a positive sample! And know a couple more with positives samples.
Positive in the sense of a good outcome, meaning no further action necessary ?
Is Diamond communicating with you at all? Or your dealer? Just curious if they are being "out in front" of the issue or trying to hide behind their networks.
