Is my engine a reman?

How can I tell if my engine is a reman? As we are taking it apart my dad is suspect, says “this doesn’t seem to be built the way id expect it to come from the factory.”

Thing is real clean and really tight

Sorry, I meant a picture of the engine since your dad indicated it didn't look right for a factory engine.

Also at the top under tools there is a VIN decoder which will give you more information than you ever wanted to know about your truck.
