depends what you call a rebuild. if you are going to go completely in teh engine and replace stuff then' you'll ned to have it rebored, new pistons and rigns to fit the bore. rods resized new bearings cam, lifters and gasket set. Also have the valves reground and new valve seats installed...among other things.
