Default What to do?

I just sold a used P-60 with 12 hours on it to someone that needed one.
I gave him a really good price. The motor has always been a perfect runner.

It has never flown ever without a fod screen.

We shipped it to him and when he got it, he noticed there were some small chips on the leading edge of some of the blades.
I can only guess that from time to time it sucked in some grit smaller than the holes in the fod screen.

The motor runs perfectly and vibration free.
We just flew it a few weeks back at the Greater Southwest.

From the photo, do you think the motor is too damaged to run?

I sent the pics to Bob Wilcox for his opinion but have not heard back yet.

I told the buyer I would refund him if he wanted.
But really I think the motor is fine as it still runs like the day I got it.

What do you think?
