The engine is spec'd to well over a thousand hp but to be perfectly honest this was his first time building an engine so mistake very well could've been made. Just trying to make sure it could be literally nothing else.
Good luck with the rebuild

EPS has better bolts (than OEM or Z1) for the gallery gaskets

lol at the 1000hp spec... a first time engine builder has no business trying to get 1000hp out of a VQ37 block
