Gotcha, I suspected that was the reasoning.
I quit using reman/rebuild engines in my shop because the quality control is terrible in more cases than not. And since I don't really like swapping engines, this was how I reduced the amount of comebacks from mechanical problems that were out of our control to begin with. I have less problems with factory assembled engines.
In theory new is new, but all of the sudden we have introduced new variables. I think if reliability is what you want, Less is more.

The point in trying to drive home is, don't just "rebuild it" beyond what is necessary, because you'll end up with another engine that eats itself in a few years.
