Typically it seems that a 4 cylinder IO Lycoming engine has a lifespan of 2000 hrs before a major overhaul is required? What exactly happened when you get to those hours? Is it a mandatory inspection that determines what needs to be "fixed" or do you have to replace the entire engine? Can you get an exemption to fly it longer? What is the cost of a major overhaul for this type of engine??

Curious as I do not have a clue

I believe the engine mounts disengage causing the engine to depart the plane on first flight after 2000
