The flight departed and at an altitude of about 60 feet above the ground. The pilot reported a loss of engine power. The pilot landed back on the runway, but only had about 200 feet of runway remaining. The airplane departed the end of the runway, down a steep embankment, the landing gear then dug into soft ground, and came to rest upside down. An engine examination revealed that the number 2 cylinder had cracked at the forward spark plug opening, all around the circumference of the cylinder and at the intake valve. The crack was opened about 1/8 of an inch. The remainder of the engine and accessories did not display any discrepancies. Fuel was observed and no contamination was found.
Probable Cause: a loss of engine power due to a cracked number 2 cylinder which resulted in a forced landing, subsequent impact with the runway, departure from the runway down an embankment, soft terrain and nose over.
