As received wisdom (or is it now false news?); I've seen the NSX engine described as a Legend V6 with shortened B series heads. So as a train of thought, whilst Legends aren't exactly commonplace the unit also came into the UK in the early 2.7 Rover 800s.
The architecture of the block, bottom end, oil pump/ cooler looks to my eye suspiciously similar.

From the above, it can be seen that an awful lot of parts are no longer available, so in that respect we should be grateful for Honda's continued support.
Notwithstanding that, many parts are still are listed and some, from the pricing schedules, appear at a competitive price to Honda.
If the parts are genuine Honda but with Rover packaging has anyone had any success with compatibility?
