Actually I'd go the other way.
Never open an engine unless you have cause to, they will generally be the most reliable this way.
I have to agree with this approach really.
Honda engines are bullet proof until you open them up. After that, it's a 50/50 on whether they'll be good, or blow themselves up.
I wouldn't attempt to do one myself, if I did ever need a full refresh it would need to be a proper job buy a reputable company with a good record for putting them together properly.
Far too many seem to get built by cowboys and end up burning just as much oil, if not more, than they did before.
