## Discrepancy

EXPERIENCED ENGINE PROBLEMS AT 7000 FEET JUST EAST OF KREG AIRPORT. MANIFOLD PRESSURE & FUEL FLOW ERRATICALLY STARTED FLUCUATING.  GOT A WARNING FOR OIL PRESSURE LOW.  DIVERTED TO KREG.  ENGINE STARTED SMOKING AND  CONTINUED TO LOSE POWER,  DECLARED AN EMERGENCY.    DISENGAGED AUTOPILOT & SELECTED BEST GLIDE SPEED OF 90 KNOTS.  THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT VERY ROUGHLY & SMOKING.  WAS DESCENDING,  MADE DECISION TO PULL CAPS AT 700 FEET WHEN IT WAS OBVIOUS COULD NOT MAKE THE RUNWAY.  THE PLANE TOUCHED DOWN AT THE EDGE OF A RETENTION POND.
