I have been out of the auto parts field for a couple of years now. The terms change from time to time and there are fewer suppliers and rebuilders. "Rebuilt" now means cleaned up and faulty parts replaced. The rest is left as is. "Remanufactured" is supposed to mean brought back to original specs. I agree that good cores are getting hard to find and we should not throw cores away. In some cases the core charge is more than the refurbished part. At least around here it doesn't matter which parts store you go to A1 Cardone does the work. Like Dura Bond makes almost all of all brands of cam bearings right here in Carson City.
