The flight was in the processes of performing a morning traffic report and maneuvering to cover a traffic accident when the pilot noticed the engine RPM drop from 2200 RPM to 1500 RPM, then smoke came out of the cowling and the engine seized. He attempted a forced landing near a residential area in a short grass field about 4 miles west of the airport. At touchdown the pilot turned the airplane about 180 degrees, and it nosed over. Examination of the wreckage revealed the engine had seized, and the oil seal had unseated at the mating surface between the oil filter and the housing. Examination of the Champion Oil Filter, CH48109, revealed that it had failed due to over-pressurization.
Probable Cause: a total loss of engine power due to the failure the oil filter because of over-pressurization, resulting in damage to the airplane during the subsequent forced landing.
