Ok so I'll try this once again, the last thread I put up didn't get much help though I managed to solve the problem on my own this one, I need some input on this one beyond my own experience.
The title says it all, whereas you can burn valves and the like on piston engines, what, if any damage can a header leak cause on a rotary? Will it burn the apex seals? If so, any idea approx. how long this would take? I bought a car with a newly rebuilt engine but it that has a rather substantial header leak right at the port to the header will it burn the exhaust port exit? I will be repairing it soon have no idea how long it was driven this way, only the break in mileage so far I'm guessing about 1000 miles if it was from the beginning? No way to tell for certain. Just want to gauge how urgently I should attend to it, if driving it all is going to be detrimental to it?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
BTW sorry if this has been covered previously, searched without joy so here I am.

Can a header leak cause rotary damage?
