Default H22a swap in 5th gen reliable?

Hey, I was thinking about getting a 5th gen accord and putting a h22a in. Is this a reliable swap(yes sounds very stupid but I heard somewhere that the axles or some part like that tend to go when swapped in a accord)?

reliabilty is based on 3 things:

1. you got to get a good motor

2. you got to have a good install

3. you got to do proper maintenance/not beat the **** out of the engine

when these 3 things are met, you have a reliable swap. the people who have problems have not met these 3 guidelines.

nah, is something around 170WHP with intake and header and maybe vafc, look for H22A posts and you'll see the dyno charts, but still 170 WHP is a lot more than maybe 100 WHP that the Stock F22BX has
