What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The pilot with one passenger was on a IFR flight plan and descending to 5000'. Just prior to leveling off he noticed that the oil pressure gauge was reading below normal. Then within seconds smelled oil. He requested vectors to the nearest airport and declared an emergency. ATC at gsp was able to get the pilot over spa. He broke out of overcast at 700' then heard a pop and oil started forming on the windscreen. With no power left from the engine he approached runway 5 at spa at about a thirty degree angle. The nose wheel clipped a malsr light. The left main touched down about 20' prior to the pavement and the right main about 6" prior to the pavement and rolled out onto the threshold of the runway. Other then a nick in the nose tire there was no damage to the aircraft and no injuries. The engine had a 4 inch hole just below the number one cylinder where the piston rod broke through.
