Rebuilt Engine
Rebuilt Engine | | A used engine that has been completely disassembled, inspected, repaired as necessary, and reassembled, tested, and approved in the same manner and to the same tolerances and limits as a new engine, using either new or used parts. However, all parts used must conform to all production drawings, tolerances, and limits for new parts, or be of approved oversize or under-size dimensions for a new engine. According to 14 CFR part 91, section 91.421, a rebuilt engine is considered to have no precious operating history and may be issued a zero-time logbook. Only the engine manufacturer can rebuild an engine and issue a zero-time record. | source: FAA Aviation Maintenance Technician Powerplant Handbook (FAA-H-8083-32) |

operator to use a new maintenance record without previous operating history for an
aircraft engine rebuilt by the manufacturer or an agency approved by the
manufacturer.
