my car had 153K on it before the coolent seals went out. And you could rebuild your engine in a day if you had all the tools and such

How long does a rotary engine run? Do I need to rebuild my engine?
Most 13Bs can last over 150-200K miles, while most 13BT engines usually last 125-175K miles, but remember that regular proper maintenance for the engines entire life is required for higher lifespan.

i saw an FC at the scrapyard with 354,000 kms on it, and another next to it with a mere 142,000 kms..
thats why i think its all about care and maintenance

The worst thing to do to a rotary (and what I suspect happened to asherwoods) is to let it sit around, maybe driving it once a month, or baby/grandma the motor.
Drive it hard and all the time.

Remember, to those who might misinterpret that, this doesn't mean pulling 1st and 2nd to 7,600 (series 4) 5 times a day....BUT the engine needs to see its powerband regularly.
