It's not possible to get Mazda factory rebuilds any more, but that doesn't
mean you can't get engines any more.  You just have to get them from
aftermarket suppliers, or build your own (if you can build an airplane, you
can build a 13B).  The limiting factor is going to be rotor housings, the
rest of the parts have long lifespans unless damaged.

And of course, Mazda is still making Renesis engines, so we can look forward
to at least 15-20 years of supply of those.
