During the ground roll of the second takeoff, the engine lost power, and the pilot aborted the takeoff. The airplane rolled off the departure end of the sod runway and collided with trees. Examination of the engine assembly disclosed that the #1 cylinder head had separated. The fracture examination revealed a fatigue failure of the top thread of the cylinder head. According to the engine manufacturer, this fatigue failure mode has been seen in previous cylinder failures associated with the loss of cylinder head and barrel abutment seal.
Probable Cause: the loss of the abutment seal which resulted in the fatigue failure of the cylinder head.
