If it ran fine, stock, and you rebuild before it has any issues, the chance of success is very high as long as you keep up with the corrections TSB bullshit (pickup oil tube issue is an old one) and avoid the machine shop and machine work.
If it ever ran into mechanical issues, lack of oil pressure for example, or odd wear, I would suspect that no matter what I do, it will always have that issue.
Now, that might not be true. However it saves me a LOT of headache and time trying to make the mistake of learning whether it is true or not.

That?s fair, it was a good deal for me so I expected to inherit some issues. Lots of expensive parts installed, only 75k miles on the body. Engine swapped from an s13 so mileage unknown. Hks cams- now roasted lol, dual valve spring set forged internals, upgraded sway bars GReddy full turbo kit. List goes on. Picked it up for 4K from a buddy who needed cash with a kid On the way, took it on as a project car as the shitty pigtailed maf fried the chipped ecu. Was hoping harness issues were the extent of my problems but I?m not afraid to do things properly. If I have to source another motor I?ll source another motor. Not new to rebuilds but I always reach out to the communities that frequent these builds as I?m unfamiliar with common issues surrounding engines I?ve never built myself. I appreciate your input
