Fact.

Location, San Juan Puerto Rico, some years ago, airline name, Prinair.
Aircraft, deHavilland Herons re-engined with TCM IO-520 engines.

FAA approved TBO...4,000 hours.

Now, if those RR engines that came originally with the Heron were so reliable, they wouldn't have needed to be replaced with a different manufacturers design.

Case closed.
