It's not just the bent prop I would be worried about. It takes a serious
jolt to bend a big piece of aluminum like that, and engines don't like that
kind of (mis)treatment. Is anyone aware of ANY aircraft engines that don't
require a serious inspection after a prop strike?

Both Continental and Lycoming require an engine teardown for any propstrike
no matter how minor. My insurance company didn't even bat an eye when I
told them I wanted one.
