A BULBS TEST SHOWED NO LOSS OF DOORS. PASSENGERS THOUGHT NOISE CAME FROM RT SIDE OF PLANE. NOT LONG AFTER, WE GOT AN INTERMITTENT GEAR WARNING HORN (2 SEPARATE TIMES). NOT LONG AFTER THE OIL 1 LIGHT BEGAN TO FLICKER ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY LIKE A STROBE. CHECK OF THE ENGINE 1 OIL PRESSURE SHOWED FLUCTUATIONS, SLOWLY DECREASING IN PRESSURE, BUT WITH NO CHANGE IN OIL TEMPERATURE, WHICH SEEMED UNCHARACTERISTICALLY LOW. THEN GOT A COMPUTER 1 LIGHT AND PROCEEDED TO ATTEMPT A COMPUTER RESET. ABOUT THE TIME I ATTEMPTED TO RE-SET THE COMPUTER, THERE WAS A LOUDER THUMP HEARD FOLLOWED BY A GRINDING NOISE. AT THIS POINT I SHUT DOWN THE NUMBER 1 ENGINE AND SECURED IT. ENGINE CONTINUED TO ROTATE FREELY AND DID NOT SEIZE. RAN ABNORMAL CHECKLIST.
