Probable cause

the application of silicon sealant to the crankcase mating surfaces by maintenance personnel, which resulted in improper torque on the bolts which mate the crankcase halves, vibration, and the subsequent failure of the #2 main crankshaft bearing. A factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
