Single engine life hours

Hi All,

im in the market for a light single and need some clarification about engine life hours.As i understand it the majority are 2000 hrs tbo.I understand that extensions can be granted i believe in the order of 20% eg 400hrs on a 2000 tbo.Ive seen some a/c with engine hrs above 2400 eg 2600 and advertised as in top order still good compresions etc.So just how long can that go on for.I understand that ide be looking at replacing/overhauling such an a/c pretty soon after purchase,but the question is how long and whats the rulings,or piont me in the right direction for the info please.I understand private and commercial ops would probably be different rules,need the info on how it works thanks for your time people
