## Discrepancy

OPERATOR COMPLAINED OF ROUGHNESS ON TAKEOFF.  AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO HANGAR WITH OIL LEAKING FROM COWLING.  REMOVED TOP COWLING AND FOUND NR 6 CYLINDER SEPARATED 1 INCH TO 2 INCHES BELOW HEAD.  COULD FIND NO EVIDENCE OF PRIOR DAMAGE.  (NOTE:  CYLINDER WAS REPAIRED 454.0 HOURS PREVIOUSLY FOR OIL CONSUMPTION.)  SUSPECT CAUSE COULD BE FATIGUE OR HIDDEN DEFECT.  REPLACED CYLINDER AND PISTON ASSY.
