Part of the problem is that the work we refer to as "rebuild" encompasses both what's more accurately called "repair" and what's more accurately called "restore." If I get damaged babbitt and I send my engine to a shop to redo it – and yeah, sure, take a look at the pistons and seals while you're in there – when I get it back, is it "rebuilt?" I think people use the term pretty broadly to describe a wide variety of work at a wide variety of prices.
