What is a rebuilt diesel engine?

A rebuilt diesel engine has been stripped down to the block and replicated to the original using new and rebuilt parts. It was likely disassembled, cleaned thoroughly and put back together with any parts that needed to be updated and new gaskets throughout. When done properly a rebuilt engine can last for hundreds of thousands of miles. A complete rebuilt diesel engine is brought back to 0 hours or 0 miles.

What are the differences between diesel and standard engines?

Diesel and standard engines are very different in their operation and design. Unlike a gasoline engine, which creates combustion through the use of a spark plug igniting a mixture of compressed air and fuel, a diesel engine creates compression through the force of a compression stroke, the air is compressed first, and then the fuel is injected.
