Great footage. Does Cessna produce engines?

I don't think so. It sounds like they chimped on the maintenance

Why don't they do a run up before takeoff?  Would that have heated it up enough to cause the failure?

Interesting that they don't have more frequent inspections in the salt water environment.  A lot of parts looked corroded, though maybe hard to tell since the entire engine was in the water for a while.
