Narrative:
About 15 minutes after takeoff, during cruise flight, the pilot observed the engine oil pressure drop and the temperature increase, followed by a total loss of engine power. The pilot made an intentional gear-up forced landing on rough terrain. A partial teardown examination of the engine revealed ferrous and non-ferrous metal in the oil screens. The number 3 connecting rod was found bent, and the number 4 and number 5 cylinders were damaged. Numerous pieces of metal were observed in the crankcase that were associated with the number 4 and number 5 cylinders and pistons. The internal engine component that initially broke at the beginning of the sequence was not identified.
Probable Cause: A total loss of engine power during cruise flight due to an undetermined catastrophic internal engine failure.
