4.4 Overhaul inter vals and expected life times
The following component lifetimes are for guidance only. Actual figures will be different
depending on operating conditions, average loading of the engine, fuel quality used, fuel
handling system, performance of maintenance etc.
Expected component lifetimes have been adjusted to match with Time between overhaul data.
