Probably, but this engine most likely wasn't rebuilt in a nice, clean assembly room by techs that do it every day. It was probably rebuilt in a corner of the shop by someone who rarely digs that deep into an engine.

500-750 miles, maybe even 1500, would probably be be good enough, but oil/filters are a lot cheaper (at least less inconvenient) than another engine rebuild. YMMV
