That was exactly 100 h plus 25 % extension due to good engine condition.

Hi Matti,

That is very interesting. I can understand if War emergencies caused engine overhaul delays, and different National operators could apply their own standards. However, I think that you wrote that the Genshagen production plant specified the "100/2" overhaul requirement?
The German data from Mercedes-Benz does not specify life-extensions, so that is a question? Beyond that, the Luftwaffe DB605A overhaul manual DLuftT. 3605A-B 0 und 1 is quite specific about the overhaul life and requirements of the DB 605 A, and the 0 (zero) series engines have a specific 100 hour Grunduberholung limit, with a Teiluberholung every 50 hours, and with no restriction on total number of rebuilds. So, I am interested if you have more data about this?

Cheers
