Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude but I see so many posts where the poster asks about a problem without ever describing the engine the problem is connected to. As NA's and TT's have lots of differences it's hard to formulate a response with that information. Yes, I realize the oil pickup tubes are most probably the same so it shouldn't have mattered in this case.

Safety wire is stainless steel, very strong and used to make sure fasteners that should never come loose don't fall out even if they did. All aircraft engines us it. Makes be feel better when I have to fly too.

Here is a great example that I found online that will answer any questions you might have on proper use of safety wire how and why.

Once you see it you will totally understand why I mentioned it and how it works to keep things in place. Jeff said it correctly.
