As for me, when I talk about my cars if I say "I put in a 289 engine.." it means I did it, me..myself..and I only. If I say "I built the engine"...that means I fit the bearings, filed the rings, dropped in the crank, cam, pistons, heads, torqued everything, etc.
But some people say "I did it" and mean "I paid the bills"

I get ya Scott...like you I I differentiate...
i/e... "I had the wheel cylinders rebuilt and new lines run"...Vs..." I rebuilt the wheel cylinders and ran new lines".
