Unfortunately my Saito 65 received a very rude shock. My CMPro Lancair 360 augered in from about 100 ft and is a write off. The aircraft was in an unrecoverable spin so the motor was shut down just prior to (vertical) impact with terrain. The terrain in question fortuantely is what most of Western Australia is made up of - very soft sand. My question Bill is this: Considering the engine was shut down, what inspections (if any) would you recommned I carry out on the engine prior to return to service? I am mindful of your edict "If it aint broke" so am loath to unnecessarily strip the thing down.

The crank appears fine with zero perceivable run out on prop shaft, motor turns over smoothly. Carb was removed and induction system checked for FOD - all good.
After cleaning, motor was liberally injected with ATF and stored since accident.

Grateful for any advice.
