TX What is included in a factory rebuild?

I know its posted somewhere but I searched and could not find sleepy-z's post. I know it varies somewhat but does anyone know if the bearings are replaced every time?

New parts guaranteed...
Rotors and components on the rotor like springs/seals, water pump, oil pan, all rubber/metal seals/gaskets, bearings for stat. gears and rotors
.
50/50 shot of new parts.....
Some housing are new, pulley, flywheel can be used btw but 75% are new roughly, eccentric shaft is usually used but chance of a new one.

Used........
Some housings, pulleys, flywheels, stationary gears are used but with bearings pressed in by yours truely(apperantly I am the only one there that is capable of doing it without messing up), parts in the oil pan(sensor, baffle plate so on), oil pump/chain.


BTW small note, all oil pans are updated to the newer style(metal baffle plate added).

Water pump and Thermostats are always brand new. cuz its not worth it for a 100 dollar part fuxk a 3000 dollar engine up.

in the other words, a Reman will have roughly 80%+ brand new parts.
