What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: the pilot elected to make a precautionary landing to have his aircraft engine inspected. The engine exhaust gas temp was running higher than normal with full rich mixture. No emergency was declared and the aircraft landed without incident. Engine was inspected and repaired by reinstalling a missing bolt and tightening the other attached bolt on the #5 cylinder intake flange. The missing bolt created an induction leak causing a lean mixture, therefore causing the high EGT indication. The aircraft was run-up and released m or d report sent out.
