Engine failures are not rare with piston aircraft engines. I know a pilot

Neat. But as far as your average spam can with O320-O360-O470 engines,
are engine failures really all that common?

We all know someone who had that happen, but I bet we all know a whole
lot more of someones who never had that happen.

Just a guess though.
