A gas turbine engine includes a gearbox assembly for delivering torque from a low speed shaft to a primary fan. The gearbox assembly includes a planet gear and a bearing pin for the planet gear. The planet gear and bearing pin are arranged so that a clearance between the two is maintained during a takeoff condition for the gas turbine engine. The gas turbine engine further includes a lubricant system for supplying lubricant to the gearbox assembly.
