try putting in a fuel cut switch. 224k miles is pretty good but some people have gotten past 300k. There is a local guy here with over 300K on his 13b in a 1st gen. When mazda switched to the 3 piece seals you just aren't gonna get that much life out of them

I'd rather fix the problem rather than band aid it haha (fuel switch)
I think I will probably rebuild before I do that haha

and yes on the first gens 13b's lasting longer- I have an fb with 201,000 on it now and its running fine still though its a 12a so its going to end up with the housing flaking catching up with it first
