Narrative:
During a routine phase 2 and hot section on the right engine, a discrepancy was noted in the total time of the right engine. Prior to this date a change was made on the total time on this engine based on an entry made by an overhaul shop. The overhaul shop added 50.6 hours to the total time, based on the 50.6 hours of flight time put on the rental engine, not the overhauled engine. When the 50.6 hours was subtracted, it was found that we flew the aircraft 32.5 hours over the scheduled hot section. Upon consultation with pratt & whitney field representative, there should be no adverse effect.
