Question about engine wear on Toyota (or Nissan/Honda) 4cyl's vs V6's.

Scotty,

Was watching one of your videos recently where you were discussing how to shop for a reasonably priced used Camry.  In that video you (seemed) to imply that a V6 engine in these Camrys (or other Toyota/Nissan/Honda applications) means that the V6 will "wear out" marginally quicker than a 4 cylinder in a same car/same transmission setting. This seems to defy all I thought I knew; I thought the higher revs of a 4 cylinder would equal more wear than a V6. ?  Can you set me straight?

Thanks,

Lewis in Lebanon, TN

Scotty says that the repair costs for a 6 cylinder engine is higher than 4 cylinders. With that being said, if you need to put strain on the car, the 6 cylinder engines are better.
