I spent a long time chasing this down years ago. In the US under Federal law, in automotive usage the terms "rebuilt" and "remanufactured" are legally identical. They both mean broken items repaired, wear items renewed or not at rebuilder's discretion. And "factory rebuilt" means rebuilt in a factory. Any factory. In machine tool industry (not codified in law so far as I know) "rebuilt" means brought back to original condition as it was when first built; and "remanufactured" means brought to condition as though it were built today, with all upgrades and specification changes that had occurred in the mean time.
