If the calculated PPM trend value is equal to or greater than the trend PPM value limit, the engine has an
abnormal trend.
No. 2 main bearing is a major problem area detectable by JOAP. These failures usually occur rapidly. Maintain
close surveillance even when small increases in Fe are noted. High Fe and Cu (with/without Ag) indicate main or
accessory bearing defect. Suspect first, No. 3 and No. 2 main bearings, next, Axis "E" accessory bearing. High Ag
alone indicated fuel contamination of lube system; recommend inspection of fuel oil cooler and/or fuel pump.
