I jumped up on the work bench and saw the pilot = runing from the A/C. The scuttlebutt (Navy talk) was that the engine = had just come back from overhaul and that aluminum washers were used to = attach the tailpipe to the engine instead of titanium. The bins holding = the washers were close together and AL washers had fallen into the = Titanium bin. The heat from the engine has melted the AL washers = causing a burn thru.
