The story goes on though. As he was taking the engine off he found one

cylinder number 3 was sheared off completely flush the cylinder base.
That's when the hair on the back of my neck stood up. I have to think that
all this was related as the nut was still laying in the bottom of the
engine. This was recent!



You definitely need to head off to the temple and sacrifice a virgin... you're
being well looked after. I congratulate you on your good luck, conscientious
A&P, and your good sense to be aware of such minor anomalies.

I've had the pleasure of a catastrophic engine failure in a single... and it
really ain't.
