It strongly depends on the year that you have. Before '92 they were absolutely awful about blowing head gaskets and cracking heads. There may be updated parts to help prevent this, such as updated water pumps and oil pumps, which failed often causing the head issues. Which also is very costly on these. The SOHC is far worse also than the DOHC. '93 and up saw beefed up heads with new cooling lines to better circulate fluid in the heads. I myself own a '95, which is both a "transitional" engine between 2.3L and 2.4L, and the last official 2.3L. More or less though, it's really a
2.3L like all the others. Balance shafts being the biggest change. I've modified mine and it's been driven pretty hard. I've kept up all maintenance though which really helps. I'm up to just over 129,000 miles and I've had to replace the flexplate. Which is probably mostly my fault. The timing chain, which is very long, and has nylon gears, which wear out faster. That's not specific to this engine either. Many others including V6's suffer this problem. And the alternator, which I must just be hard on them because I've never owned a car that didn't need one. Other than that, nothing to note. Starts, and runs great, doesn't use oil, great mileage, good power. I've had good experiences, though you will probably hear about a lot of bad ones.
