A re-conditioned engine from Vauxhall for example will consist of re-manufactured parts and would be considered a brand new engine with 0 miles on it.

may as well do water pump while the belt is off n dont just put a timing belt on it get the kit 4 bout an extra £20

valve stem oil seals, all gaskets, crank bearings and seals, piston rings, timing belt and clutch.

if it aint broke dont fix it.

if you were going to re-condition an engine yourself, lets say there is nothing mechanically wrong with it you just want to re-new it, what parts would you replace? I know if sometihng isn't broken it doesn't need fixing but hypothetical situation lol

varies loads depending on reason for rebuild, whether its for stanrd spec/performance etc ohh and make sure its not had a belt snap as cheap rebuilds can run poorly/tap

depends how good the place that does it is.

When an engine is re-conditioned, what work is done to it, i.e. what parts are replaced?


Thanks
