That motor will last a long, long time providing you take proper care of it, as is the same with most cars. However you may want to consider a rebuild as you can get the motor ported at the same time, so you'll gain in not only having a fresh motor, but also a decent bump in power, although there are a few other nessecary things that you'll need to do to take advantage of the porting. It is expensive to have a professional do, but should be more than worth it if you plan to keep the car.
Use the search button, check the FAQ page and archives, and if that doesn't help, then start asking questions. Most things have been covered to death already, and some people tend to get a little annoyed having to repeat. I know because I have asked a couple questions before, that I could have found the answers to just as easily. Good luck, and say goodbye to the contents of your wallet. You'll never be so happy to be broke again.

S=sport
GS=grand sport
GSL=grand sport limited
GSL-SE=grand sport limited special edition
The only one to come with a factory 13B was the GSL-SE. All the others had 12A. Another way to tell is that the 12A are carburated and the 13B is fuel injected.

If the emblems have not been removed and it is a GSL-Se model originally then at the right rear of the vehicle will be a GSL-Se emblem. If It was a GSL then it would have the GSL emblem. Cannot comment on the GS or S model since I cannot remember.
Also if it was an Se then the emission label on the underside of the hood will show that it was a 1.3 ltr engine and a hose routing diagram of a Fuel injected vehicle, other wise it will show a 1.1 liter and a Carburetor emission hose routing will be there.
To fully understand most of the difference in the models go to the FAQ forum and there will be the question asked with a link to the information.
The FAQ section is a place that is recommended for all new owners of a RX-7 to familiarize your self with the car. There are also links that answer mod questions and a ton more.

One thing I find curious is that my carfax report states that my car is a fuel injected when I know it had a carb on on it.

Is it a 13b engine or 12a engine?
13b = GSL-SE.
12a = S/GS/GSL
Now if it is a 12a with rear discs:
Discs = GSL
Drums = S/GS
I really do not know more than that on clarifying a vehicle. For some reason, sunroofs come to mind, is that the difference between the S and GS?

the easiest ways to tell from the GSL and the GSL-SE...just by walking around the vehicle...
- 4 wheek disc brakes
- SE has the 14" wheels and a different rim altogether that is SPECIFIC to SE models.
- rear wiper on hatch WITH a sprayer on the roof
those things are dead giveaways that the car is a GSL or GSLSE for sure...so check if you have the brakes and the little sprayer on top. If you have those things you AT LEAST have the GSL model...

The first sentence implies you are going to list the DIFFERENCES between a GSL and GSL-SE. After the list you say these are dead giveaways to a GSL or GSL-SE and didn't really list the differences.
Bad phrasing, but I understood what you ment to say.

Your post is just a little contradictory.

and the only thing visually from the outside to tell from SE and just GSL are the factory SE wheels. If someone had aftermarket wheels, than you could only know it was at least a GSL.
I need better wording...
