To be clear, shouldn't people report only on engines whose performance or condition required an overhaul (as opposed to you wanting to do it when it didn't need it or regulations unrelated to the engine forcing you to do it) and such condition was not the result of infant mortality of a new part or workmanship issues? Specifically, don't report an overhaul of a healthy engine due to a prop strike. Don't report an overhaul of an engine because you put in a new magneto and the engine gear disintegrated inside the engine. Don't report an overhaul of an engine because your mechanic left something loose on last week's oil change, with all the oil running out and the engine seizing (although I'd blame the pilot as much as the mechanic). Am I right here? We want to measure engine reliability and life, right?
