The valve spring retainers seemed to be a weak point on the 2.0 motor, there were several cases of it at the Honda dealer in Vermillion, Ohio. Engines that had to be brought in and heads changed. I do not know if they updated the retainer or changed them for the 2.2, and do not know if that was one of the reasons to going to the 2.2L, lower-revving motor.

If you haven't driven one (2.0 or 2.2), you should.
The driving experience is very clean and magical. Great 2nd car for someone.
Almost like an e30 m3 but better in many ways........Comment

I've only driven a 2.0 and was very impressed from the limited seat-time I got, the car has a lot of punch even in the midrange (short gears + lots of compression), it didn't want to fall on its face like most 4cyl's. I'd like to have another drive in it in dry weather and w/o wide 18" wheels.Originally posted by bmw_e30
