I heard you say it will hold 500hp I dont think stock gaskets would hold but i could be wroung.
I was thinking about doing metal head gaskets but if everything is set up right im not convinced that you need them. I could be wrong tho. If things go wrong with a normal one it is the weakest link in the chain and aslo easy and fairly cheap to replace. with a metal head gasket its often the pistons or othe parts that will give way before the head gasket. much more expensive to fix. I would be paying attention to the fact that we have an open deck block which isnt good under high boost

I've pulled the block out of the donor car, and now I'm starting the re-build. The pistons are on hold until I get some more $$$, because my water heater AND A/C have decided to take a sh!# in the last week. I'm thinking about a stock build for now, just to get the car back on the road and proceed with the turbo fab work.



Someone asked if my e-clutchmaster stuff actually fit, and the answer is yes. Apparently, the transmission input shafts are a different spline on the Sterling 2.7. The clutch splines perfectly with it on my Legend trans.

Does anyone need a complete engine wiring harness for a 2.7? Or ECU? I won't be needing mine anymore.

Looking good my friend, congratulations on all your hard work.

BTW I don't know if anyone has mentioned or noticed this before but that main pulley/harmonic balancer is different to the one on your typical Honda/Acura Legend motor...

Good eyes! That's from a '94-'96 Accord V6, basically the same motor, but the crank pulley is brass, instead of the solid steel one on the Legend motor.
