Honda 2.3L SOHC vs 2.3L SOHC VTECH?
I'm looking into purchasing a 2002 or newer honda accord and i was wondering what the difference between the standard 2.3L and the 2.3 vtech motor was. other than the torque and horsepower ratings...are there reliabitilty differences between the two?

same motor, different cylinder head. both are reliable. youll only find the non vtec in base model dx which wasnt too popular. for 03+ they all have vtec

Should not be any reliability issues. All VTEC is basically is like having another camshaft profile the motor can choose from. Cam profiles are most effective over a small amount of revs, say between 1700rpm and 3500 rpm. VCT means that there is another profile that takes over at say 3500 rpm, to 5500 rpm. It means drivability is affected, there is more power available at the lower part of the rev range, without sacrificing top end power

go for the VTEC motor one, because the VTEC motors give you better engine response because VTEC means "Variable Timing and lift Electronic Control", and are said to last longer than the standard motor, especially if you rev high alot.
