O-200 with very low hours 80ish had prop strike but supposed to have no Crank damage. 4,000$

Victor hadn't updated the group on this so here is what I had heard from him. Upon inspection the crankshaft appears to in fact have damage as well as associated bearings.

I would be very interested in the 0200. I have a 0235 firewall aft from a long easy including mount and prop retention, and also a c85FI with logs for trading purposes.

Thrust flanges are prone to cracking after ANY strike, but they don't always fail right away. It's a big unknown WHEN. I've seen a live example that I refused to allow my pilot and friend to fly with. He swapped in a similar engine "great deal" O-200 in front
of his Taylorcraft and when I pushed/pulled the prop (right after he landed at the grass strip my aircraft was hangered at, flying over Arkansas swamps!) it moved at least 3/8" in and out of the case. I flew him home in my aircraft..next day we proceeded to
swap back the original.
That O-200 crankshaft ended up being soup cans, the case was toast as well.
Good angels protect some I guess. I'm not that lucky.

Continental crankshafts are tempered harder than Lycoming crankshafts. They are less likely to deform in a prop strike when compared to that of a Lycoming crankshaft. There is a familiar saying that Lycoming crankshafts tend to bend, Continental crankshafts tend to break. Either engine type needs to be broken down and inspected.

I would never ask for a finders fee for helping someone sell their plane or project.

Wanted to see if I could get a little finder's fee for this 0-200. Guy is clearing out his hanger and said his 0-200 has around 80 original hours had a propstrike from a ground loop when he was learning to fly a tailwheel. Says that the Crank was dialed and looks fine. Is asking 4,000. I think that's probably a pretty good deal if everything checks out. Located in Indiana. The guy lives in Florida and while this engine could be low hours as he said seems a 80ish original hours engine is pretty unheard of. He could be trying to pass off a high time airboat motor? If due diligence is conducted could be a deal though.
