How long do FCs last?

If the motor has 150k miles on it, with the stock differential? Would it last up to 200k or even longer, assuming it's been taken care of? Not very well, but the maintenance was done on time or a little late? A new alternator and battery were installed in the past year.

it can last a day or several years, keeping up on the maintenance will raise your chances of it living longer a while but it really is a game of luck with high mileage rotaries.

I have almost 210k on one of my 13bs. and I still let her scream once in a while. and it doesnt even smoke, no rebuild or nothing. I just give it a good matinence once in a while and a good tune up once in a while. I have to replace the secondary injectors though but thats no biggy. and im on my second tranny and my 2nd clutch since I had the beast but still the same motor.
