    Involved in an incident.
    There was one minor injury. The accident occurred at Medicine Bow, WY, United States while cruising. The damage was substantial. The pilot reported that shortly after levelling off at 14000 feet MSL, the engine surged three times and then stopped. A forced landing was executed onto rocky, upsloping terrain, under dark night conditions. Subsequent disassembly of the engine revealed that the number 7 cylinder intake valve rocker arm had failed.
