I'm not convinced that he is going to need a new prop and engine teardown.
It sure looked like he stopped the prop before touchdown

I tried watching the clip again but couldn't view it. IIRC the prop was
spinning when he landed - I don't know if that's considered sudden
stoppage.

As far as Lycoming and Continental are concerned anytime the prop
touches something other than air it requires a teardown. When
I had my engine failure, the prop just got scuffed in the dirt
when I ran off the edge of the runway. It was enough for the
insurance company to opt for the tear down (they wouldn't have
otherwise).
