R22/R44 Datcon

On most R22's the Datacon starts with the engine, therefore 2,200 hours means 2,200 hours engine time, flying time around 10% less for start up and shut down. R44 Datacon activated on collective therefore 2,200 hours on Datacon is actually 2,200 flying and around 2,400 hours on engine. Am I missing something or does that mean Lycoming are ok with 2,400 hours in a R44?

Thanks
