This is unadulterated BS. There are many, many Mazda RX7's and other rotary powered
cars out there with well over 300,000 miles. 500,000 kilometers. I see many 25 year old
first gen RX7's on the freeways of Southern California almost every day. I saw one
this morning.
I have owned six rotary powered cars. A new RX2, an RX4 station wagon, a two rotor Cosmo,
two 2nd gen RX7's and I currently own an RX8. Some with over 300,000 miles. None of them
ever had any problems with apex seals or problems with the chrome plating.
Some Mazda rotary aircraft applications in gyro copters have over 2000 hours with no troubles.
Rotary engines have been used in aircraft since 1973 with stock Mazda chrome plated
rotor housings. Further more chrome plated cylinders were specified in WW II by the US Navy
for all their aircraft engines for salt air corrosion reasons. Chrome plated cylinders
were also widely used in general aviation air cooled cylinders and still are.

IMHO the credibility of this company is zero.
