Overview
The Jaguar AJ-V6 engine is a piston engine based on the Ford Duratec V6 engine. The Duratec V6 was originally designed by Porsche, under contract to Ford, using a proprietary Cosworth cylinder head design to meet Ford's design brief. One notable addition is the use of variable valve timing, a feature also shared with Mazda's version of the engine. It is available in 2. 1 L , 2. 5 L and 3. 0 L displacements.
The AJ-V6 engine has an aluminium engine block. Its aluminium DOHC cylinder heads were designed by Jaguar Cars. Using sequential fuel injection, it has 4 valves per cylinder with VVT; fracture-split forged powder metal connecting rods; one-piece cast camshaft; and direct-acting mechanical bucket tappets — features that differentiate the AJ-V6 from the Ford and Mazda versions....
