Experts,

I have found a 1988 Mazda rx7 turbo with 13b  Engine for sale it has about
150,000 miles on it. It  runs great. Would this be a good candidate for
aircraft use. Would you think the mileage is too high?

I think it is but I would not fly  any engine new or used until I had a
look
inside and replaced at least the O ring seals and made modifications to
the e-shaft rotor cooling system.
