yes...
look in the engine log book.. sometimes a reason for overhaul is not
specifically mentioned..
but information like declining compression readings etc may yield and answer
or something like "engine overhauled at xxxhours due to propeller strike,
crank passed inspection"

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?
