I am trying to decide what to call (for my log book) a top overhaul where I have replaced with all new cylinders, pistons etc. I realize that a "Top Overhaul" can mean anything from a remove, check, and replace anything that meets tollerances. to replacing with new parts. In my case I did not split the case but inspected the inside through the openings for the cylinders. The only thing I did not replaced on the cylinders was the rocker arms, push rods, push rod tubes, and the valve covers. Everything else from the base of the cylinders up were replace with Lycoming new. I used the Nitrited steel cylinders & chrome rings that all came as a set. So, does anyone know what to call that officially for the log book? The engine only had 675 hours on it and the bottom was in good condition. I did the top because one of the cylinders showed a scuffing between the cylinder and piston.
