I'll say. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif That's more than my dad's Dodge Ram van with a 'workhorse' 318 in it. He had it rebuilt right after it hit 200k. No way I was tackling that job, but a rotary, no problem.

Yea, I think I am going to rebuild my motor. I don't know if the rotors and housings are going to be rebuildable though. Over 240,000 miles on them. I might just try to find a 13b and put a 6-port manifold and holley carb on her. I know this on car has a good 12a that is at a state impound, but they are waiting for investigation on it because some guy died in it. It has a roll cage and everything in it. Maybe it has something "special" done to the motor. Because the guy was a race car driver.

In the Racer's circle, no one EVER buys or uses parts from a car that took someone's life. It's Taboo. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png



Look elsewhere.

245k miles! Amazing. You might want to check the distibutor before being convinced of engine failure, although at 245k it had to be getting pretty tired.
