There is a reliability issue with the No. 4 bearing on the V2500 engine. Monitoring bearing performance is part of the solution and the effects of scavenge valve operation are important to the final 'fix' for the No. 4 bearing problem.

We don't engage in knee jerk fixes when it comes to reliability engineering. Unless safety is involved, discreet monitoring is generally the best way forward.
