Narrative:During the takeoff and initial climb, the engine power was 100 rpm lower than expected, and the oil pressure decreased to 0. The pilot initiated a left turn for a precautionary landing at the airport. The engine continued to lose power during the approach, but it did not experience a total loss of power. The airplane was not aligned with the centerline as it touched down on a runway, and traveled off the left side. Examination of the airplane revealed that the pilot had recently installed a homemade oil cooler adapter on the certificated engine.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during a precautionary landing. A factor was the pilot's unapproved maintenance modification resulting in the loss of oil pressure and partial loss of engine power.
