An overhaul is sometimes called a major repair, although personally I don’t like this term as it is highly confusing.

This means that there will be no defect syndromes to take care off and no defect description as such.

The discarding and replacement of parts which have life limits within the components or need to be replaced whenever the component is torn down (such as seals)
