Hey guys got a quick question that apparently has stumped my mind. I have a IO-360 A1A with 200hrs since new. Got it off a Mooney that had prop strike, I didn't trust the paperwork on the 'prop strike' inspection from the Mooney so kept an eye out for everything. Anyway, got the initial Phase I + about 40 hrs on the engine, when a lot of 'small' red flags added up to me pulling a cylinder and final analysis of spun journal bearings past the babit and into the copper. Seems like a oil starvation at some point in the past with the Mooney.
Long story short, did a full-teardown and metal contamination IRAN at a professional shop. All measurements (crank, etc.) came back within new standards, had to P-10 the cylinders but basically did everything required for MOH and already had new accessories within 80 hrs.
Question: Is IRAN considered major overhaul for log book calculations? Am I at 0 SMOH/ 200 SNEW or 200 SNEW? If I go by Section I (definitions) for Major Overhaul then IRAN is considered MOH (I think).
Any thoughts from the brain trust? Either way is fine with me, just want to know what to track. Maybe 0 since IRAN /200 SNEW maybe??
