Rebuilt means measureing and machining the engine parts to ensure that the clearances are correct. Replacing parts such as bearings and piston rings. Installing all new seals and gaskets and machining the cylinder head. Basically rebuilding an engine involves replacing all of the wear items and making sure that the tolerances are correct.
Rebuilding the transmision involves replacing the bearings, syncros, and possible the shift forks, reshimming the pinion bearings and replacing all the gaskets and seals.
I strongly reccomend that you get a shop manual for the model engine that you are contemplating rebuilding and go throught the steps required to perform a rebuild.
Even of you don't perform the work yourself, you will at least be familiar with the process and will save you money in the long run.
A note of caution though....many places say that they have "rebuilt" engines and transmissions, but sometimes they are really just freshened up engines and transmissions that have just a few parts replaced without a complete teardown, inspection and reassembly.
By the way, the engine block in the 900 is extreamly durable and can last 500K miles before needing to be rebuilt.
Alot of people just have the head rebuilt and replace the seals and the engine is again like new
