How much does a prop strike reduce engine value?

pullin_gs · May 28, 2018

Got my engine logs finally today. After assured there was no prop strike found out there was actually two prop strikes one in 67 by Leavens and the 2nd in 2009 by Aero Atelier in Quebec. Major overhaul done in 1989. Engine currently has 870 hours. Not concerned on the one in 67 but very concerned from the 2009 strike. How much is this engine devalued? Nose gear collapse on landing for the 2nd strike. Camshaft replaced in 2007 after crack found in case at 600 hours and cylinders replaced. Looks like just front and main bearings, connecting rods and some seals/gaskets/orings installed at 2nd prop strike. Not sure if procedures are the same in Canada but I am starting to wonder what I bought...
