It's great to get the skinny on that affair. However, I had been under the impression that the one aircraft that ditched, did so because the excessive oil pumped into the engine finally overwhelmed the spark plugs. I think it was in a chapter on the book about Skymasters, and the story was that this one engine had been so perfectly assembled (before we had computers and automation to match engine parts) that it had near-zero oil consumption, so the additional oil got all the way up into the combustion chambers.

Hi Ernie,
I had read the same thing as you. It was in the book titled "Cessna - Wings for the World - Development of the 300 Series Twins" by William D. Thompson
