Quote:-An "overhaul" does not mean returning the engine to new manufacturing tolerances, it means (at a minimum) disassembling the engine, verifying that it is within allowable *operational* wear condition and tolerances, and putting it back together. Therefore is is possible to legally overhaul an engine without all the parts required to return it to as-new tolerances.
I have to take issue with this statment, if an item is stripped and parts are found to be within the service limits then it has been repaired.
If an item is stripped and all the parts are returned to new limits then it has been overhauled.
The repaired part can continue to be used for the remander of it's service life, the overhauled part starts a new service life at zero hours.
