Those aren't exactly high numbers.
My pristine and perfectly maintained '90 RX-7 blew apex seals at 106k miles  Not a single rotor-head was remotely surprised...
Apparently the older ones are more reliable, though. My info is that to meet emissions standards, they had to cut back on the amount of oil injected. If I go rotary again ever, I'll probably run premix... |
correct, the 12A is a lot more reliable than the 13B's were, i only said my mileage because those are the ones i can personally say i've been around and driven without issue. mine has no emissions control systems on it anymore, just a carb and an engine
