NTSB accident and incident record under N961JD
Aircraft on the NTSB record: Piper PA-28R-200 · serial 28R-7435075
Inadequate or loss of through bolt preload tension, which resulted in fretting between the engine halves, the subsequent failure of one cylinder through bolt, the loosening of additional cylinder retaining studs, and the fracture of the crankcase. Contributing to the accident was the wake turbulence of a departing military jet, which resulted in the pilot’s inability to completely align the airplane with the runway.
