NTSB preliminary report is out. Fuel consistent with 100LL.. From the pilot’s conversations with ATC, it sounds like severe mag problems or a mag failure coupled with too little altitude while flying in the pattern. ATC directed 9-0-9 in a right hand pattern, which kept the aircraft turning into the bad #4 engine.
