I have a01 f4i. The only problem that I came across is the cam chain tensioner went out. It is a pretty common thing. You should ask if it has been replaced. From my past experiences the stock one you get from Honda isn't worth the money. You can get a manual adjusting one for apex for about fifty bucks and it doesn't cost to much to have it replaced. Other than that it runs like a champ now.
