Don't say there's no way to tell, obviously there is not just from looking but I do know for a fact how much it's done, so guess away!

Don't worry about what kind of engine it is, but what is your estimate on the kms/miles? Be sure to state in miles or kms just so I know.

Re: Guess the milage of this K series V6 engine
My guess is 350,000kms
I only guess high because you posted it here, and I think there is a alternate reason for it

Re: Guess the milage of this K series V6 engine
I'm with you on this part, but it looks like really low miles, almost no wear. That's I love about Mazdas. I'd like to see the cylinders.se7en wrote:

Re: Guess the milage of this K series V6 engine
you guys are guessing less miles on the one with visible cam wear. It looks like the first one didn't have regular oil changes with good oil, but has low miles, or was babied, while it looks like the opposite with the other.'93 GS - P&P DE w/ ZE exh. cams/ pistns, KLG4 IM, 65mm TB, MSnS, Phenos, K&N RAI, UDP, Grnd wires, rear batt, filld MM, torq strt, TWM short shftr, Exedy, Lng tube hdrs 2.5" Side exhaust, H&R sprngs, Poly bushngs, strutbars, Alum. crss mmber&tiebar, 22mm swybar, solid links, Direzzas, leather int, Alpine 9805 stereo & alrm, keyless entry, 10 Boston Accoustics spkrs, Prjectrs, Blaster2, CF hood, FG hatch, Lexan

Re: Guess the milage of this K series V6 engine
Cam wear is not always indicative of mileage or oil changes. Different oil can cause the wear and the motor proly hasnt been start in some time.. its just sitting in my room. I will put it in and run some oil through it and it will look good as new

Re: Guess the milage of this K series V6 engine
True, and yours looks like a ZE, so probably low miles.

Re: Guess the milage of this K series V6 engine
Yea seems to be.. I will run it and see. The pistons are nice and clean still from what I can see... I guess the angle of the pic and the flash can cause you to see the wear marks abit more. Should be a gooder.

Re: Guess the milage of this K series V6 engine
I was thinking it could be the angle. It's hard to tell stuff from pictures.

Re: Guess the milage of this K series V6 engine
You can see mild cam wear in the first engine. I'm guessing because of the topic the milleage is somewhere high up there, so I'm guessing 210,000 miles.
