Glad you made that landing successful. Ive never seen the cyl base studs crack on a lycoming like these and I have years of maint experience on lycomings. Because it is a narrow deck eng make sure when you are reinstalling the cylinder hold-down plates to use use shims as per the manual attached.

Thanks for that - very much appreciate the advice.

Hmmm … red RTV rings a bell, as does a blocked oil gallery and a wreck bought off the insurance company of a plane I once flew. Be careful.
