## Discrepancy

ENGINE HAD 266.2 HOURS SINCE A FACTORY ZERO TIMED OVERHAUL 11-24-99.  RIGHT ENGINE SHUT DOWN IN-FLIGHT DUE TO VIBRATION AND VISIBLE OIL LEAKAGE.

THE CYL AND PISTON ASSY WERE REMOVED TO REPLACE WITH NEW CYL ASSY.  CRACK IN CYL BARREL WENT 100 PERCENT AROUND BARREL, AND APPROX 80-90 PERCENT OF THE CRACK WAS SEPARATED COMPLETELY THROUGH.
