The IFR flight departed kenai, AK about 1815 local, and on approach to the Anchorage International, the pilot reported hearing an explosion in the engine compartment. This was followed by smoke in the cockpit. The pilot was able to evacuate some of the smoke by opening the cabin doors and briefly pulling the mixture. The pilot landed on runway 6 left and cleared the runway at about 1857. The aircraft was towed to the parking area. Examination of the engine on November 2, 1995 revealed the #L6 cylinder separated from the block by shearing the cylinder hold-down studs. The connecting rod broke in the back stroke when the piston struck the stubs of the broken hold-down studs. The upper forward cowling sustained some damage during cylinder separation.
