      I have a spare Z22XE engine without the head, thinking about stripping and rebuilding, need a little project. Is it possible to find out what mileage it has done using just the engine number? I will have to check again but I think it is younger than the engine in my Omega, covered 100,200, anyway it's about the same age time wise, 10 years.      If feasible, I have plenty of time to take my time

Or both.

No idea, we seem to be thinking more laterally...

You need a proper engine to make a bottle rack. 4 bottles is not enough.

Touche. I like the idea of a V12, but Woman is less impressed.

I would seriously doubt the engine number would give any indication of mileage covered,I've certainly never heard of this,but stand to be corrected!The best thing to do in my opinion would be to measure the cylinder bores with a micrometer and compare those figures with the factory figures.Hope this helps.

You can tell the bore wear simply by look and feel

    That's one of the reasons for my OP there is very little wear in the bores, in fact, I can see what looks like honing marks in each of the bores, seemed to good to be true.
    Will strip down anyway, Will keep me occupied, never know might be of use.
I know, one has already been suggested  Might get away with claiming it's a sculpture/work of art
