The 2,900-hour pilot stated that the airplane lost engine power during climb to cruise. The pilot went through the emergency procedures, and made about a 130 degree left turn for the best place to land. Post examination of the engine revealed that the crankshaft was found to be separated between the number 2 and 3 journals. It had no heat discoloration.
Probable Cause: The loss of engine power due to the separation of the crankshaft. A factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
