Question following our overhaul

[Tom-D]

I have not not found an 8130 included for an engine repair or OH in a long time, private or commercial aircraft. I guess a field OH done by an A&P without an approved shop would be an exception.

You should have them on any component parts that were repaired by other repair shops but not the whole assembly. That is why we have maintenance records. IAW
