Probable cause
An oil starvation failure of the engine due to a mechanic's failure to put the proper gasket stack on when the propeller governor was replaced. The mechanic's omission was due to the airframe manufacturer's failure to ensure that the service and parts manuals for the aircraft contained the most recent information concerning the unique gasket requirement for this airplane.
