I always think of 'em as looking like an oversized air cooled VW. That one is a 360 cubic inch (4260 cc) and makes about 180 hp.

I wasn't too worried about it. The small sprinkler head has very little mass and the engine was idling, so I didn't expect them to find any actual engine damage from the prop strike (which they didn't). Since the sprinkler put a couple of dings in the prop, tear down inspection was mandatory.
