The pilot reported that he was operating the airplane over a fairground area, towing a banner, when he noted a complete loss of oil pressure. He stated that he tried to return to the airport, but the engine lost power. He made a forced landing in a freshly mown hay field. The pilot reported that the airplane encountered a drop off during the forced landing/landing roll and was damaged. Postaccident examination revealed that the oil filter adapter had separated from a boss on the crankcase cover. An FAA Inspector stated that about 80% of the threads in the crankcase cover boss were stripped.
Probable Cause: Loss of oil, where an oil filter adapter had separated from the crankcase cover, due to stripped threads that were caused or allowed by inadequate maintenance or inspection, which resulted in oil exhaustion and subsequent loss of engine power. A factor relating to the accident was: the airplane encountered uneven terrain during a forced landing.
