Is 160k miles on a 3.2 Carrera Motor Alot?

What are the usual top end and bottom end rebuild mileage thresholds assuming the engine has been serviced properly?
Thanks

Considering the car is between 18 and 23 years old? Not too many miles then. The issue is maintenance records imho. Valve guide wear was an issue on the 3.2l cars. Then again, if rebulilt recently and a ppi is passed, then you should be fine.

160k is getting there, unless someone else has done a valve job before.
