Well If the motor was built correctly and all specs were followed, beat the piss out of it. What people need to realize that honestly "motor break in" is kinda BS. Sure back 30-40 years ago rebuilt motors, and even new cars had a break-in period. This was only becouse they did'nt really have the technology nor the desire to mass produce an engine at a precision level. When new cars are built now all they do is fire it up to make sure it runs. When you buy a new car with like 3 miles on it the dealer won't tell you to baby it for 1000 miles, becouse today's engines are built to tight tolerances. Same goes with a rebuilt rotary. I know motors that were built, fired up, and then do a burnout down the block with no problems. Yes you will want to change the oil rather quickly when you rebuild an engine to remove any assembly lube residue, or any forign matter you may have missed during the rebuild, but that's it. If you build an engine observing all the specs and clearance/wearout measurements you have nothing to worry about. except for maybe a defect in a replacement part, but that can happen at anytime, regardless of how the engine was built
