It?s amazing how much time passes, and then a thread gets resurrected from the dead.
While we are on this topic though, I can understand Lycoming stating an engine tear down is necessary after a prop strike because of the legalities. From what I?m reading it seems quite rare to have crank or engine problems after the prop strike though. But Lycoming not taking the risk of that 1 in whatever number having a problem, they pretty much have to take this position of a tear down, don?t they?
And if the prop strike was a wooden or composite prop, is the engine tear down something you?d still feel like was necessary?
