I'm considering purchasing a Lycoming IO-360 that had a prop strike in 2004 and has run 1200 hours since then without incident. The engine log has the following statement, "AD2004-10-14C C/W after prop strike N/A by condition."
I'm not sure what that statement means, and it makes me a bit wary to use such an engine without a tear-down inspection. Or perhaps since the engine has run so long after a prop strike, the engine is probably reliable since there hasn't been a problem since then.
Any advice?
