Honda J35A6 / J35A7 specs: 3.5L (212.1 ci) 6-cylinder, 89 x 93 mm (3.5039 x 3.6614 in) bore and stroke, 10:1 compression. Rated 244-255 hp, 2005–2010.
The Honda J35A6 / J35A7 is close to square: 3.5039" bore against 3.6614" stroke, within 4.3%, which splits the difference between a high-revving layout and a torque layout. The 3.6614" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,550 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 6 cylinders displaces 35.4 ci (579 cc).
10:1 on aluminum heads is in the range that usually runs on pump premium; aluminum sheds heat faster than iron, which makes the same number a little more forgiving.
It is one of 30 engines in the J-series V6 family, sitting between the 152.6 ci and 223.6 ci members. 6 factory variants share these dimensions, rated from 244 to 255 hp across 2005–2010.
