I had a nose over that broke the prop. I called Revmaster about the need for a rebuild. Joe said try to start it first.
Sorry gang, but I am on a soap box this morning. Larry I normally agree with most of what you say, but read what you said again.. To me that is totally irresponsible to post to a bunch of builder would be pilots who might not know any better. Standard procedure in certified engines is a complete teardown after ANY prop strike. All the testing on the ground you want to make will not show you the cracks, nor will it prove it is not cracked. I knwo of three netters on this list alone that have had crankshafts crack after they were told no, but later found out in fact their planes sufferred a prop strike. Do what you want to but PLEASE don't tell people that it is acceptable or correct to fly an engine after a prop strike, without having the crank removed and magnafluxed. The only possible exception would be to ferry it to a location to get it torn down...
