Absolutely but there is another factor, the age of the component. What I suspect is that inspection criteria do not expand as a part ages, the shop is probably just doing the overhaul by the book and the book does not cover problems or trends that occur with age.

I was just on an aircraft the other day that had 6 trancievers, 4 antennae, and 2 indicators thrown at the same problem. I sat on the plane swapping components looking to see if this intermittant problem would show it's self for 2 hours before I confirmed another BFS tranciever to be the fault.
