overheating

hey everybody, i was just reading an article about a car with a 13b and it when it mentioned the motor it said how they were notorious for overheating, i've owned 2 se's and they never came close to over heating, was there really a problem with them?

Most rotary engine life is reduced when over heated, usually because of maintenance neglect. Annual radiator flushing, new replacement 5-7 years and hoses replaced regularly is usually overlooked. Once you get her hot, you won't have many parts that are useable on a rebuild.
