If a Lycoming in a low usage aircraft it will not make TBO, camshaft will rust and wear plus valves will stick. Factor in new mags at 600hrs as well. The lycoming is a lot of design faults waiting to happen, but it does normally keep running till back on the ground. Note Lycoming do say their engines will only make TBO if run for 40hours a month every month.
