If a plane (C172S) has 1600 TT but is at 250 hrs SMOH on an original engine
that's spec'd for 2000hrs TBO, does this mean that the engine went in for
overhaul prematurely? For what possible reason and how would I find out?



Remember that TBO is based on hours run as well as calendar time. How
long was the engine in the airplane, and what does it's manufacture
recommend for calendar time to overhaul?
