life span of 1990 13b motor in gxl

[DJTenuto]

how many miles does it usually take to make it need a rebuild or replacement? if its well maintained, how much over 200000 miles can one engine go

[mrb455]

I have a 88 n/a auto with 118k on it and drive it around 200-300 miles a day for work and it still runs great, but I maintain it very well.

Well I've heard of getting well over 200k miles on a 13b, I've got somewhere around 100k-200k (I think it's more around 160k) on the one in my gxl now and it still runs strong.

what about non turbos after 205000 with out a rebuild?
how long does a rebuilt motor run before needing another rebuild>?

I've owned a bunch of 2nd gen Rx7s in the past. All three of mine where starting to blow oil at 120k. Changing oil is key and don't detonate ever! Rotary's don't like detonation, they blow apex seals.
