High Mileage F20C...problems?
Anyone out there with high mileage on their engine? If so, I was curious to see how the F20C is holding up.
Do you feel a loss of power compared to lower mileage?
Any challenges that one should be aware of with time, water pump, alternator, top end rebuild, etc...

70K so far. Replaced 1 inner CV joint/1 CV joint and Differential that blew up at 60K/ Coil pack went bad replaced under warrantee.
I have been very fortunate and had little issue with my car ever! Just dyno'ed my car to tune up a V-AFC and was over 200!! Car still hangs in there with the rest of the pack.
IT'S A HONDA!!
EDIT: Purchased 11/18/1999!!!!

Purchased in 08/22/00. I was doing great until 76k miles when my main bearing went out. I had just dynoed at 203.5 w/ Comptech CAI and HKS a month or so earlier. 
The short block was replaced under warranty. The new engine seems to be stronger, but I haven't dynoed it yet. It feels new again. 
I've also had a few repairs before then: A/C Compressor,PowerWindow(Driver), TSB-55, TSB-54,and a melted Catalytic Converter.
It's running great now @ 85k miles or (9k actual motor miles).
I hope this lasts forever.

) and my pinion gear sheared a few teeth off around 48k miles. had to have the diff rebuilt.

Just an update. I hit 75k miles and still runs strong. I don't notice any signs of wear or power loss.
She's been over maintained I think. I'm very anal about maintenance. I think I've changed the diff fluid 7 times already!
