Narrative:
Took off with 40 gallons of fuel; and 7 quarts of oil. Climbed to 3;500 feet and proceeded to do unusual attitudes. No adverse indications at that time. When student was put into a nose low attitude; he recovered by reducing power to idle then advancing the throttle to level out. Throttle appeared to have no effect on engine power; and less friction on the throttle lever was noted. Oil pressure was low and 0% power indicated on mfd. No adverse fuel indications noted. After advancing the throttle several times to no effect; instructor decided to conduct engine failure in flight checklist.student performed checklist while instructor took the controls. Instructor landed aircraft on runway at [nearby airport]. Prop continued to windmill until mixture was idle cut off. When engine was started again; instructor noticed engine roughness. Advancing throttle caused slight fluctuation in power; but never exceeded 6% or 1;000 RPM with throttle full forward.
