Overview
Honda's first production V6 was the C series; it was produced in displacements from 2. 0 to 3. 5 liters. The C engine was produced in various forms for over 20 years , having first been used in the KA series Legend model, and its British sister car the Rover 800-series. It was the second mass-produced Japanese V6 engine, introduced two years after the Nissan VG engine.
All C engines share in common a 90-degree V-angle from bank to bank, common cylinder block bore centers, and four valves per cylinder. It is an all-aluminum design, and uses timing belt-driven single or dual overhead camshafts; the water pump is also driven by the timing belt....
