ill rephrase:

most of the jdm h22a's ive seen were in near decrepit condition, meaning they burned a lot of oil, didnt run right off the skid, had broken sensors or bent mounts, etc.

im sure a brand new of rebuilt h22a is fine, but the majority that are sold on ebay etc, need some care.
ive also heard bad things about the 10.6/1 CR stock jdm pistons, and like i said before an internal coil jdm distrib that doesnt burn out shortly after being put to work is rare.

on the other hand, most of the h22a1's including my personal motor were in excellent shape
i believe mainly because the only people i see with stock mint 4G h22a1 ludes are old people or middle age single women

ive only seen 3 of em on the road in completely stock (out of the showroom condition) and all three fall into the above categories.
