John- yes, the rotory's is prone to craking/blowing apex seals. Unfortunatley the rotary engine is very finiky in tuning and maintance wise. A lot of people have no idea how to tune/modify/maintane these cars and this is a big reason why these engines (particulary turbo charged rotaries) end up blowing an apex seal. Also the rotary engine doesn't have near as much history or R+D that the piston engine has.
Also piston engines are prone to blowup too (when heavly modified/bad tuning), the only difference is w/ a pistion engine you most likely will have to replace a lot more items than on a rotary. And you are usually not able to drive it after you blow up.
