Analysis
The plt departed rwy 36 at charping field to perform touch and go landings. The plt stated that the acft eng quit on final apch. The plt elected to land short of the airfield with the landing gear retracted because of a power line along the final apch path. Investigation revealed the #2 and #4 cylinders had low compression. Internal seals on the #6 cylinder were found loose with some portions of gasket material missing. The left magneto point barely moved, wiper arms on both magmetos were burnt and contacts were severly worn. The last annual inspection of the acft was in 9/1985.
