If the temperatures were
going up at the same time, something in that engine was binding, and it was getting
ready to seize.


As I recall, the temperature remained in the green.

The pressure drop would be caused either by a serious oil leak (you
would've noticed that) or rapid clogging of oil passages by metal particles.


Right. I immediately checked the oil after landing and it was at 7.5
quarts, just where it was on take-off.

I think
it would not have kept running much longer.


Good to know

This marriage is off to a shaky start. The groom just asked the band to
play "Your cheatin' heart", and the bride just requested "Don't come home
a'drinkin' with lovin' on your mind".
