Actually, it’s the FAA and the engine manufacturers that set the TBO (Time Before Overhaul) . It has nothing to do with brand; it has everything to do with the internal stresses of the engine. The Lycoming TIO-541 series of engines have TBOs ranging from 1200-1600 hrs based on what model is involved. Upgrades in materials usually extends the TBOs.
