Thank you all guys for your time and replies. I for one completely agree that exceeding recommended TBO isn't wise especially in rotary where stress cycles are accumulated fast and any component failure becomes critical and costly. I've told about this to that guy and just wanted to ensure that I'm not excessively cautious. 20 years back I was taught that there are no too cautious in our game.

Fly safe,

Alex
