Cost of an engine "Bulk Strip"

This is one for a LAME or experienced mechanic to answer. Can anyone tell me what exactly happens in the "bulk strip" process of engine overhaul or repair. Most aircraft that have suffered seemingly minor engine damage in landings or other incidents are required to undergo a bulk strip. What is that exactly and why does it seem to always cost tens of thousands of dollars? Are all parts replaced regardless of damage?

What's the story with the old bulk strip?

cheers

Gin.
