I have an aircraft engine I am building up that had "thrown" a cylinder due to something similar.... a previous mechanic had sloppily put sealant around the cylinder base studs which squished onto the mating surface of the cylinder base and the crankcase. Over time, this allowed a very slight flexing condition which led to fretting, which led to fatigue of the studs, which led to the cylinder leaving the engine in flight, which led to a forced landing in a field in New York state.
