A guy across the hanger row from me lost a cylinder in flight on a relatively new (60-70 hour) engine. Looking at the studs it appeared that one bolt had been lose and backed off, allowing the other 3 to shear off. I'd be looking at what kind of damage might have happened to the adjacent studs while the bolt was loose. What kind of engine only has three studs/bolts holding the cylinder on? OBTW nuts go on studs not bolts. -- Ben Jackson http://www.ben.com/
