But he didn't say 350 hours since the inspection. He said 350 SMOH. The prop strike could have been 5 hours ago. Or maybe he meant 350 since prop strike but that's not how I read it.
Not awake this am?
That said 350 hrs. since should tell the story of a sound engine.
Looks to me like the OP meant the airplane was returned to service (after prop strike & "inspection) with 350 hours on the engine at the time of the inspection.That's why I ask what they did for the inspection.
If it was "returned to service" after a prop strike it was torn down (if it is a certified plane) since both Lycoming and Continental require it.

350 since MOH, by Triad. 5 since gear up, belly. No flip.
Says repaired and inspected IAW AD 04-10-14 C1 paragraphs f & g.
Prop overhauled and hub.

I would buy it if the price is right.
Sucker born every minute. With the info given and no logs to review I wouldn't jump to that conclusion.
"Bottom feeder" maybe.
Will that inspection tell if there's damage to the crankshaft or its bearings/journals? Or the connecting rods?It depends on what your concept of "teardown" is and what your expectations of what that ultimately accomplishes. I can tell you that compliance with SB 451C as mandated IAW AD 04-10-14 C1 paragraphs f & g is not something done with a flashlight and mirror. It may not look or sound like much on paper but it's not a trivial thing.
A prop strike of this nature is also not a trivial thing but when people who have no inherit engineering knowledge of the consequences of such an occurrence try to dictate what needs to be done to satisfactorily resolve it we all end up suffering.

I am considering purchasing an airplane that had a prop strike on the motor that is installed. Is there any concern? It was inspected and returned to service in the log book. @350 hrs since MOH. Io-360.
