Right. And it would be news to me if either one made an engine
overhaul mandatory! There must have been a misunderstanding
somewhere.
Lycoming Service Instruction 1009J "mandates" overhaul at 2000
hours (most models) or 12 years (all models), whichever comes first.
A good fraction of engines are well past calendar TBO, including
this one (24 years). If the insurer actually did mandate overhaul,
the calendar age may why. Itd be a good reason.
