Some people's cars are inoperable at this time due to blown head gaskets (The equivalent to the coolant seals). Nothing is going to make that a non failing everlasting part. No offence, just saying there are other legitimate rotary gripes for us to complain about.

you really think there are no piston engines with blown head gasket at 135K miles ?

in fact, there are way too many.


but you might wonder why "I never heard of it"

Cuz when things are common, like a piston engine, no one cares/pay attention to it. but when it comes to something rare, in this case, like a Rotary engine, even a tiny little bit of glitch, ppl just gonna make a big fuss about it.

no offense, but just stating the truth. know a buddy who works in the garage.

*edit* damn, Paul beat me to it
