Over 100k? Not in general, same as any high-mileage engine, really. VTEC system near-infallible.
Things to check:-
Gearbox - synchro, and diff if it's got one. And linkage. Honda 'boxes are one of their few weakpoints, at least on the performance cars.
There's also a wear issue...can't remember the term but there's a part that sits between the cam lobe and somewhere else and tends to wear slowly with use, reducing valve lift...sorry to be so vague but it was one conversation 2 years back.
Best bet - post up on HondaRevolutions. LOT more Honda experts there.
