Acura Legend C32A 3.2L V6 Remanufactured Engine 1993-1995

Description

Eliminate oil cooler plumbing mismatch and cam sensor fault codes with this Acura Legend C32A1 Remanufactured Engine. Each 3.2L 6-Cylinder 24-Valve SOHC power plant features a dual-outlet oil cooler water pump and male-connector cam angle sensor. Technicians must perform pressurized oil priming before initial cranking and execute an exact 500-mile break-in oil change to protect valvetrain components.

Built with aluminum block casting C32A1, this 90-degree V6 features cast iron cylinder liners align-honed for crankshaft centerline concentricity. The rotating group features a micro-polished forged steel crankshaft with offset crankpins, forged connecting rods, and hypereutectic pistons. SOHC cylinder head castings PY3-R and PY3-L receive diamond deck milling for head gasket retention. Dry long block weight totals 240 lbs within crated dimensions of 36in length by 36in width by 36in height. Engine oil capacity equals 4.8 quarts.

Key Features of Acura C32A1

Luxury car technicians buy Acura C32A1 remanufactured engine long blocks to resolve chronic head gasket failure and restore factory quietness. This long block replacement provides factory-matched machine tolerances for late 2nd-generation Acura Legend sedans and coupes.

• Pre-installed water pump features 2 dedicated cooler outlets for late-model engine oil cooling lines.
• Pre-installed timing belt, cam gears, and mechanical tensioner eliminate valvetrain setup errors during installation.
• Cam angle sensor features the late-model male electrical connector for factory harness compatibility.
• Offset-pin micro-polished crankshaft journals eliminate runout to protect bi-metal bearings under load.
• Diamond plateau honed cylinder walls establish an Ra 14 micro-inch finish for rapid ring seating.
• Multi-layer steel head gaskets ensure positive combustion chamber seals across 2 aluminum cylinder banks.
• Align-honed main bearing saddles preserve circularity across the 90-degree engine block architecture.

Dyno Bench Clearance Machining Specifications

Dyno cell spin testing verifies mechanical oil gallery pressurization and power output prior to crate shipment. The 3.2L 3206cc SOHC V6 outputs 200 HP at 5,500 RPM and 210 ft-lbs of shaft torque at 4,400 RPM. Main journal oil clearance holds between 0.0010in and 0.0014in, while connecting rod clearance measures 0.0011in to 0.0014in. Individual cylinder compression gauges verify 185 PSI across all 6 cylinders. Hot engine oil pressure maintains 55 PSI at 3,000 RPM with regulated coolant temperatures steady at 190°F.

Vehicle Fitment Drivetrain Guide

This engine fits 1993 to 1995 Acura Legend sedans and coupes equipped with the 3.2L 3206cc C32A1 engine, dual-outlet water pump, and male cam sensor connector. Compatible drivetrains include longitudinal front-wheel drive paired with 6-Speed manual or 4-Speed automatic transaxles. This unit does not fit 1991 to 1992 Legend chassis with single-outlet water pumps, Type II 230 HP models with revised intake valves, or NSX C30A mid-engine chassis due to cooling and harness divergence.

Installation Protocol Service Requirements

Technicians must inspect the dual-outlet oil cooler water pump hoses, verify male cam angle sensor pin seating, and bleed cooling system air pockets during engine install. Operational warnings restrict use in custom turbo applications exceeding 6 PSI boost on stock pistons or non-vented track chassis lacking auxiliary oil coolers.

• Pre-fill the oil filter and prime engine lubrication passages with 5W-30 synthetic blend oil.
• Drain initial break-in oil and install a replacement oil filter at the 500-mile service point.
• Check timing belt tracking and inspect oil cooler hose clamp tensions at 1,500 miles.
