Default Sudden stoppage link/info.

Hi there,
I'm considering an engine that has become available, but has had a sudden stoppage in its previous life. Does anybody have a link to a document detailing the inspection/replacement requirements that lycoming require after such an event?
I've done a site search and read some, but probably not all, the info that's on here. Any other input would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Default Complete tear down per Lycoming

You can do a quick search on the net and find the latest service. Lycomings position is really simple. Sudden stoppage requires complete tear down and inspection.

Lycoming's position is clear, as JonJay says -

Thanks JonJay/Gil, that's just what I needed! Turns out a friend is familiar with the aeroplane/incident involved so it may not be a goer, but worth a look as it's just down the road.
