However, it does have to be inspected to determine if damage has occurred to any rotating part. This includes prop governor and magnetos (because of the sensitive nylon gears inside). When a Continental engine comes apart for this inspection, the crankshaft has to be magnaflux tested and ultrasonic tested. Common items found during such an inspection are: cracked crankshaft, bent crankshaft (they can be straightened if they are within certain limits), cracked case (repairable most of the time), and broken gears. Not cheap, but recoverable.
