Mine had 4000 miles on a brand new rebuild, but only because the OMP went out. I have a friend with an FD with 130K miles on it and it has never been rebuilt. original engine, seals, etc.

it all depends on how well you maintain your car.

These are the people we need to learn from. They're doing something right.

110KM in a blardy hot place in south east asia.
my rotor housing gave way... chipped and water seal gone. apex seal is still intact but compression is low around 5 to 6 only.
