Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The acft engine failed internally and oil spraying on the windshield reduced the plts visibility during the forced landing. During the rollout on a road the acft collided with a stop sign. An exam revealed there was no compression in the left rear cylinder. The left rear spark plug was fouled, the rings on the left rear piston were burned & seized, and there was a hole in the left rear piston by the pistol pin.
