Engine exceeds TBO

No, an appropriate response would have been "I need more information in
order to comment", or "engine life is highly variable and there is no
way to tell if your engine will run 1 more hour or 1,000 more hours."

Your comment was almost certainly wrong, but may have been right in a
very small percentage of cases.


No statement was made regarding compression, making metal, or oil
consumption, how the engine was treated (taken care of or abused).

The OP said the compression was good. There was no comment about metal,
oil consumption, or maintenance though.


By "Run Out", I mean that the engine will not serve the owner for many years
to come.

We knew what you meant, and we know that you don't know what you are
talking about.
