Oh shit this thread is giving me a headache. Buy whichever one you want, it is your money. CW is a factor in many 2G's, I have checked a lot of them this year and over half were within .001" from being out of spec. That doesn't mean they won't run or indicate failure even, but they were well on their way to death. I wouldn't let that be the factor in why you buy a certain car though. If you are into these cars for serious performance reasons, you will be updating the motor anyway, 1G or 2G. If your goals are just to have a nice cruiser, it doesn't really matter what you get as long as you check it over before you buy it and maintain it properly. All cars have the potential for walking, not all at the same percentage, but there is no completely safe way to go.

I will take a 1G any day for tons of reasons and I am sure everyone has heard them before so I will save the keystrokes.

The white one John referred to as a QPR car, was just here for a wiring harness and lifters. We checked the end play on the crank just to give the owner a heads up. I wouldn't call it a QPR car though as beyond that and a clutch install before, we havn't had anything to do with it's buildup. His car is at the end of spec as well for CW, but still is running and probably will last at least this summer.
