By "rebuild", does the definition include multiple rebuilds until both engines run strong?

For me, that's 653 days, or 940,320 hours.

PROBLEM (1 of n): 8/12/2012
RUNNING STRONG: 5/26/2014

are we talking straight time at the dealer without leaving or can we include the initial attempt and the 6 times it had to go back to get it right?

These stories are in part why Merc is still in business.
