I have had 4 prop strikes 4 engine teardowns, 1 new crankshaft and 1 new set of exhaust valve guides. My engine has not had to be overhauled.
The last problem that I had was at 700 hours. I now have 1,600 hours on the engine and all compression is still in the mid 70's. I do an oil analysis every 100 hours. The analysis are all still good.

OH yes, I am a member of the "gear Up" club and I know believe me!!!! After a prop strike an overhaul is mandatory. Apart from mandatory it is good common sense.
