"(e) Compliance with this AD is required as indicated before further flight
if the engine experiences a propeller strike after the effective date of
this AD, as defined in paragraphs (i) and (j) of this AD. "

To me, this parses as "if, after the effective date... a prop strike
occurs... comply with this AD." To attempt to parse it the other way
would require some violence to the sentence - to wit...

"(e) Compliance with this AD is required { as indicated before further
flight if the engine experiences a propeller strike } after the
effective date of this AD, as defined in paragraphs (i) and (j) of this
AD. "
