I had a cylinder seperate on the rear engine. Not a sign of vibration Not enough runway to stop safely
Took off on runway 12 called the tower and told them I had a problem and they asked me what I would like to do. Asked for clearence to land on 07 Left gear down and landed on 07
I did not not shut the engine down it was still producuing power on 5 cylinders . I lost 1 quart of oil Peplaced the piston / ring and cylinder and flew her home.
