Chris, good job and glad you made it onto the runway you had … check fuel system (return and venting), oil lines, accessory belts, water pump, alternator,– keep us posted as to findings.
At 100 hours TT, experienced a Lycoming eat an exhaust valve … a very shaky situation; fortunately I had just turned base and throttled back … it pays to fly tight circuits – just in case.
Ed, based on your system, I’ll take ¼ credit for last year’s cornfield harvest … I landed just “anywhere” myself but the airplane didn’t fare so well … progressing with the rebuild.
But being 5 miles away from the runway at 1500’ isn’t the same as 5 miles away at 8000’.

Ok, Dave
You get 1/2 credit - I mean if you can just pick "anywhere" to land - where's the challenge? {:>)
