As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

ON JULY 10 1998, AIRCRAFT N5763J WAS TRANSPORTED TO DEL-AIR AVIATION, IN PROTERVILLE, CA. WHERE A CLOSER ENGINE INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED. THIS CONFIRMED THAT AN AEROQUIP E-Z DRAIN SUMP VALVE, PART NUMBER AE99950G, FAA-PMA APPROVED, WAS A POSSIBLE CONTRIBUTING FACTOR, IN THE COMPLETE LOSS OF ENGINE OIL. A LANDING GEAR RETRACT FUNCTIONAL CHECK WAS PERFORMED EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT THE NOSE WHEEL STRUT ASSEMBLE, CONTACTED THE E-Z DRAIN SUMP VALVE. THE A SAFETY RECOMMENDATION WILL BE GIVEN CONSIDERATION. DAMAGE TO PROPELLER INDICATES THE ENGINE WAS NOT DEVELOPING POWER AT TIME OF IMPACT. EXAMINATION OF THE ENGINE REVEALED A THREE TO FOUR INCH HOLE IN THE TOP OF THE CRANKCASE INBOARD OF THE NUMBER FOUR CYLINDER. THE ENGINE OIL DIPSTICK DID NOT INDICATE ANY OIL IN THE ENGINE.
