Default Lyc. O-360 cylinder question

I recently bought an O-360-A1D from a parted out Geronimo Apache to
use in my RV-8 project and have a question (or two) regarding its
background.

The engine was installed on the Apache in late '95 and has a new
Lycoming logbook, no previous logs included. Makes me think it's a
Lyc. factory reman engine, zero timed and all that... but, on the
first page of the new log it shows the TT on the core at 2022 hrs.
The work was done by Lycoming at Williamsport, PA; would this be
considered a factory reman or factory overhaul? I can't quite tell...
don't guess it really matters though.

My big question is this; whether reman or O/H'd, would the cylinders
installed by Lycoming be new or overhauled ones from the jug bin? I'm
planning on a field overhaul on it, and assuming jugs were new in '95
(1660 hrs now) I'm tempted to have them overhauled and re-used. If
they were used, O/H'd jugs to start, with no idea of TT or history,
I'd trash 'em.

I'm pretty sure that Lyc installs new jugs on O/H's or remans, but
what say ye, engine gurus?

John
