THE PILOT HAD RENTED THE AIRPLANE FOR SEVERAL DAYS. DURING THE ACCIDENT FLIGHT, WHILE DESCENDING TO LAND, THE ENGINE OVERSPED. IT WAS CONTROLLED BY REDUCING THE THROTTLE. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS SMOKE WAS NOTED OUTSIDE OF THE AIRPLANE AND IN THE CABIN. THE ENGINE THEN QUIT. A FORCED LANDING WAS MADE TO ROUGH TERRAIN WHICH RESULTED IN SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. ENGINE DISASSEMBLY REVEALED DAMAGE CONSISTENT WITH OIL STARVATION. 1.5 QTS OF THE NORMAL 13 QTS OF OIL WERE DRAINED FROM THE ENGINE. NO OIL WAS FOUND ON THE ENGINE NOR THE FUSELAGE, EXTERNALLY.
