it's my D in a B
I would say, that unless you know who built the motor, don't buy it. LS/vtecs can be built to run ok for a while, but with very poor reliablility; or they can be built right with good reliability. I wouldn't buy an LS/vtec unless a reputable shop with lots of experience with hondas built it.
