There aren't ten reasons why motors require a rebuild. In the vast majority of cases, a motor needs to be rebuilt because of failed coolant seals or because of blown/worn apex seals.
There is no bullet-proofing a rotary. Mod properly (not cheaply), keep up maintenance, use good fuel (and water injection for heavily modded cars), and pray to the rotary gods -- that's about all you can do.

Lean situations, and the roots that lead up to that. Whether it be poor tuning, overboosting, poor fuel, poor fuel system, etc. It's very rare that you hear of a "stock" or near-stock FD that blows an apex seal out of nowhere.

Walien, unless that stock FD had a stock radiator. :P
Mine went because of a poor fuel and poor fuel system(fuel filter)... also lets not forget the old saying:
First thing to check is the loose nut behind the wheel. :/
