SMOH=487, STOH=77???
Subject is part of a description of an A-65 engine.
Am I reading this correctly: the engine had a major, then about 400 hours later required a top half overhaul?? Isn't a top included in a major? What likely happened? - MIke

Other times it is due to poor baffling or other mistreatment.

The guy might have run 100LL and stuck a valve, prompting a top overhaul
and installation of 100 Octane valves. What year was the major done? It might have been 1965 and only flown those 400 hours over the past 40 years. No use can be harder on the engine than abuse...
