## Discrepancy

AFTER NORMAL TAKEOFF, A BANG WAS HEARD AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO THE FIELD AND LANDED SAFELY.  AN INSPECTION REVEALED A CYLINDER BARREL TO CYLINDER HEAD SEPARATION.  ENGINE RETURNED TO FACTORY FOR INSPECTION.  NR 2 CYLINDER FAILED.  REF:  INCIDENT NR BOS99017; EAST COAST AERO CLUB.
