I have had this happen to me twice, while racing at Reno. When it happened, I would not describe it as a big bang, but more like a poof; and at the same time the manifold pressure dropped from 55" to 26". The first time it happened I did not know what had happened and pulled out of the race and landed. The second time it happened, I looked at the engine readings, saw that everything except manifold pressure was in the green and finished the race (of course I got passed like I was standing still). My engine kept running just fine (after I turned off the ADI) and there was no flooding of the engine and the plugs did not foul. Maybe there is a difference between Continental engines and Lycoming engines.
