The Honda J series is the company's fourth production V6 engine family, introduced in 1996 after the C series. It was designed in Japan with the engineering done in the United States and is built at Honda's plants in Anna, Ohio, and Lincoln, Alabama. Unlike the 90 degree C series, it is a 60 degree V6 made strictly for transverse mounting, with a tighter bore spacing, shorter connecting rods and a smaller crankshaft to keep it light and compact. All J engines are gasoline powered with four valves per cylinder and a single timing belt driving the overhead camshafts, and VTEC variable valve timing is used on almost all of them. Some versions have Variable Cylinder Management, which can turn the V6 into a straight-3 under light load.
