it does not mean you can turn back the odometer to 0, but an engine rebuild is usually a clean cylinder hone, pistons, rings, bearings, gaskets. if it is built for performance it is usually all the above + rods, head studs, sometimes valvetrain work.

if it is a performance build with aftermarket sleeves. it can cost up to 3500 or so for a bottom end(everything but head work) if you are keeping stock sleeves and goin for pistons, rods , etc probably about 1500 or so....that doesn't include assembly as machine work and labor costs vary a lot

if he is asking what it is I am assuming he doesn't know where to start so doing it at home is probably a bad idea
