sensors are replaceable. check compression, do a leakdown test. look at all seals: rear main, head gasket. pull the plugs if you can and take a look at them to check for detonation or oil burning

If you happen to have a chance to pick out an engine. Pick the one that have a Honda OEM oil filter. This will assure you it was services at the Honda dealership.
Chances are, it was very well maintain.
Just from experience.
