i had an extra 7.3 to keep as a spare but then i saw another one for sale on craigslist that had been rebuilt, so i quickly sold the one i had for $400 to get the cash to buy the other one for $700, and when i got it home i called Reviva (the company that rebuilt it) and they said it was rebuilt in 2004, and that they rebuild everything, top to bottom, including the complete injection system, plus it looks like all the accessories were rebuilt as well (steering pump, a/c compressor, alternator) and it even looks like the oil cooler is new.
the guy i bought it from said it had about 20K since the rebuild - it was in u-haul truck he bought and they told him that was about the most miles it had.
when an engine has been professionally re-manufactured to this extent is it generally considered to be as good as if it were brand new, or would the expected lifespan be somewhat shorter than a brand new one?
thanks,
paul
