It lasted 20-30 seconds and then stopped as suddenly as it begun. A visual inspection of the engine revealed nothing loose and no obvious cause. I know that a plug was changed during the annual. Could a faulty plug cause this?

The next 4 hours were uneventful until yesterday when at the end of a 1.5 hour flight the exact same thing happened. Manifold pressure and RPM were at descent setting and I observed no drop in RPM with the vibration.

Has anyone ever experienced this phenomenon?
