Since I can't figure out how to check mine with a meter and I have no problems, I still have the original - 92 lx 352,000.
With that track record, when I get my replacement "new" car with a regasketed motor running, I will buy new OEM, just because I will probably will not have to buy them again.
Some feedback about parts stores wires- out of the 5 Civics I've purchased recently, all of them had replacement wires. Compared to stock design with the boots etc, they suck!
