I've had all the of the rotary powered cars I've owned last 60+k miles with abuse, ported and/or turbo. Not many engines run that long with constant abuse and power going threw them. Most cases are people buying them and treating them like a Prius. Rev them up, add some premix, rev them up some more, race them, they'll last long the seals love it.
