Engine cracked..

[Dan]

I spoke to the owner of a Mooney for sale a few days ago and he told me the engine cracked some months ago. I have a call into the mechanic who fixed it but I wanted to see if anyone had this happen or thoughts about it. About the only detail I have is that it cracked near where the engine mount bolts on.  He said it was professionally repaired, in good shape, etc. I  would think this engine would be a problem engine after this repair???

How many hours? You might want to see what impact the damage will have on overhaul or trade-in, is it an acceptable core?

1000 hours. You know I never thought about the core. Good point. Thanks!
