Rebuilding an engine involves thoroughly disassembling it, cleaning all the components, and replacing the parts that are too worn or damaged to function properly, such as bearings, gaskets, and seals. While this process can significantly extend the life of an engine and restore much of its original performance, it does not make it "new" in the strictest sense. The main structure of the engine, like the block and heads, typically remains the same unless they are also replaced. Additionally, internal wear or imperfections that can't be completely corrected could remain. However, a well-rebuilt engine can perform very closely to a new one, offering a cost-effective alternative to engine replacement and reducing waste. Keep in mind that the quality of a rebuild can vary greatly depending on the expertise of the mechanic and the quality of the replacement parts used.
Running the heater can indeed help cool an overheating engine. This is because the heater system in most vehicles works by drawing heat away from the engine's coolant. When you turn on the heater, hot coolant is passed through a heat exchanger (heater core) in the dashboard, where a fan blows the excess heat into the passenger compartment. This process removes heat from the coolant before it is recirculated back into the engine, thereby lowering the engine's temperature. It's a temporary fix and not a solution to ongoing cooling system issues, which could stem from problems like low coolant levels, a faulty thermostat, or a malfunctioning water pump. If your engine is overheating, it's advisable to check these components and repair as necessary.
No, running the heater does not cool the engine. Instead, it actually uses the heat produced by the engine to warm the vehicle's interior. However, running the heater can help reduce a slight amount of heat from the engine, serving as a secondary cooling method when the engine is overheated, but it doesn't directly cool the engine. The primary method of cooling the engine is through the radiator and the coolant flowing within the engine.
The size of a V8 engine is not strictly defined as 'one size fits all'. Different V8 engines can have different capacities. It can range from as small as 4.3 liters to as large as 9.4 liters. Most common sizes range between 5.0 - 6.2 liters. The specific engine size typically depends on the vehicle's make and model.
