Bruce like you said there isn't much to go one here with out the log entry or the w/obbchien said:I'd need the Lycoming OH manual, and the statement by the overhauler as to what specs he used for each part, and the statement that covers the dimensions of the parts not replaced, and what they were replaced with, and their sources.
However, part 91, TBO does not apply. You are entrusted as the operator to the widsom of the state of your collection of parts that constitute the engine. You really need Tom Downey here....
Mike Schneider said:So, my question is: How close to a field service limits overhaul does this appear to be? For instance, there is no indication that the thru bolts were replaced with new. Some folks think the thru bolts must be replaced with new to qualify for a field service limits overhaul. Maybe there are other items missing from the list that keep it from being considered a bare minimum field service limits overhaul? My reason for asking is that I will spend more time to hunt down the I.A. and see if he can better document the situation. But, if this will not qualify for an O/H, I will limit my effort to some degree. So far I have not been able to find him, but I have a lead or two.
Stache: It didn't say either (rebuilt or overhauled).
Thanks for any insight. -- Mike
P.S. Documentation after the fact is a big problem. Be sure you are getting proper documentation to hold up the value of your plane.
Mike Schneider said:Sure can, Tom.

Yellow tags for the appropriate pieces in my original post includes one for a single connecting rod. One has to wonder if this was the "broken connection rod" or if they just happened to have a used one laying around the shop for this particular engine. I have a suspicion that someone not knowledgeable in aircraft maintenance said words to the effect of "this is what is wrong with it and I want this specific thing fixed". Following that, the mechanic did as directed even though that was not the problem.
Interesting. -- Mike
