Section 1.16
Sump and cam cover bolts are sealed. If you break those seal then that is considered a change of engine. So in your example, stripping and re-building would be considered a 'new' engine even if it was the same block.

But as you know from reading the rules and regs., an engine can be replaced during the season. There is nothing to say that the original cannot be rebuilt during the course of the season, and as such, be considered as the second engine. As permitted.
The only thing is that the team would be required to pay for a TOCA official to travel to wherever the engine is being refurbished to supervise the sealing/resealing of the engine.
Or that is how I read and interpret the regulations.
