In the uk under the light aircraft maintenance schedule engines can be run 20% over the makers TBO provided that it,s condition is OK.
It is not usualy a good idea as the overhaul cost is normaly higher than if the engine is overhaul is done at the recomended time.
Overhaul means that the engine is rebuilt to ovehaul limits and NOT to service limits and to the latest SB state.
