<< The engine has a tag on it that says "Remanufactured in Canada" on the
 side of the case. I am curious as to significance of this. It raises
 questions!

 1) Was the original engine replaced at some earlier date?
So it would seem....

 2) Can I rebuild this "Remanufactured in Canada" engine.
Sure, if it's rebuildable!

 3) On the Canadian Reman. do I need to have the case line bored and the
 crank turned for true and oversized bearings.
The type and amount of work that it needs has nothing to do with where it was
rebuilt before...
 DO be aware that the reman plant in canada does some pretty funky
stuff...MEASURE EVERYTHING!!!

 4) Is there need for concern with the case. When the piston burned
 through, there didn't seem to be any collateral damage. No rod damage,
 no case or main bearing boss damage, no obvious scoring on the
 crank...either main bearing areas or crank throw bearing areas.
Did it burn a piston or did it eat it up due to coolant?

 I want to rebuild this engine per Lilley parameters but need to know
 what basics I should have concerns about before I start. >>

With the basics, check everything..reject those that cannot be re-used...
