(This engine is described as a RAM conversion, mounted on the right wing of a Cessna 421C. The website is http://www.ramaircraft.com. This and the following two reports deal with this engine company.)

The submitting repair station technician provides very sketchy information about this maintenance event stating, “The oil pressure never came up after the pilot started the engine...(and then) the engine seized. Time on this engine: 30.3 hours TTSO (total time since overhaul). The engine was removed and another was provided by RAM—under warranty—to take its place.” (This Cessna’s story continues in the next discrepancy.)

Part Total Time: 30.3 hours.
