From reading the description on the low time plane, I didn't get the
impression it was a 0 time engine. A 0 time engine to me means a factory
new engine or 0 TTSN. In this case the engine could be 0 TTSN, or it
could
be 0 TSMOH, or it could be 0 TSTOH. I tend to suspect the latter, because
it isn't specified. The reason I think the plane has been sitting in a
field is because just about everything that wears out from just sitting
has
been recently replaced or overhauled.

Isn't a factory reman also 0 time w/ new logbooks?

It can be. There's also such thing a factory overhaul, which is not a 0
time engine. Most people just do a major overhaul or a top overhaul, which
can be done by someone who is powerplant certified.

Unless I'm mistaken, 0SFOH is not a 0 time engine, where 0SFRM is a 0
time engine with new logs etc. It's how they're defined. So if they
did a factory remain it's cheaper than factory new but still 0 time,
but a factory overhaul carries over whatever time was on it when it
was overhauled.
