Honda J35A7 3.5L V6 Remanufactured Engine – 2005-2006

Description

Eradicate excessive oil consumption and cylinder deactivation valvetrain chatter under continuous variable-displacement operation across demanding airport passenger shuttle routes through precision diamond plateau cylinder honing in the Honda J35A7 3.5L V6 Remanufactured Engine. Built for 2005 to 2006 premium passenger vans, this 24-valve i-VTEC VCM powertrain outputs outstanding highway fuel efficiency and verified mechanical stamina.

A 60-degree aluminum block houses cast-iron cylinder liners honed with diamond tooling to Ra 28 micro-inches to maintain oil control during cylinder deactivation. The rotating package pairs a forged steel crankshaft with forged steel connecting rods and hypereutectic pistons with graphite skirt coatings. Equipped with cross-bolted four-bolt main bearing caps, specialized VCM oil passages, a dry weight of 405 lbs, and a 4.6-quart oil capacity, this engine structure holds tight tolerances.

Key Features of Honda J35A7

Executive transport fleet managers buy Honda J35A7 3.5L V6 remanufactured engine models to preserve high-mileage passenger van fleets with original factory fuel economy. Automated cold-spin testing verifies hydrodynamic bearing oil film retention across every single crankshaft journal before transport.

• Variable Cylinder Management deactivates rear cylinder bank during light cruising for superior fuel thrift.
• Multi-layer steel cylinder head gaskets maintain combustion containment during severe summer heat cycles.
• Specialized spool valve oil passages ensure instant hydraulic locking of deactivated rocker arms.
• Cross-bolted four-bolt main bearing caps lock the forged crankshaft in true alignment under load.
• High-pressure internal trochoid oil pump feeds 60 PSI through clear block lubrication galleys.
• Dynamic mass balancing keeps harmonic rotating unbalance below 0.5 gram-inches.
• This Honda J35A7 crate motor matches factory active engine mount control sensors.

Variable Displacement Dynamic Thermal Bounds

Engine lubrication maintains 20 PSI at warm idle and stabilizes between 55 and 70 PSI at 3000 RPM cruising speed. Coolant temperature operates from 185°F to 200°F via the primary thermostat circuit. The engine outputs 244 continuous brake horsepower at 5750 RPM and 240 lb-ft torque at 4500 RPM. A 10.0:1 compression ratio yields 175 to 190 PSI cranking compression across all six cylinders. Rated for Severe Commercial Fleet duty, radiator heat rejection reaches 3,950 BTU/min under continuous hauling.

Transaxle Interface Snout Dimensions

The rear crankshaft flange uses an 8-bolt flexplate bolt circle machined for automatic transaxles. Pilot bore diameter measures 0.826 inches with concentricity verified within 0.0008 inches to prevent torque converter pump wear. Front crankshaft snout measures 1.250 inches with a precision keyway, holding crank thrust endplay within 0.003 to 0.006 inches.

VCM Priming Maintenance Guidelines

Technicians must prime the lubrication channels using an external oil priming container through the oil pressure sensor port before initial starting to ensure oil flow to VCM solenoids. Fill with 5W-20 motor oil and clear air from the cooling system using vacuum filling equipment. This powertrain is not engineered for turbocharging exceeding 5 PSI boost, nitrous systems, or racing competition.

• Check crankcase motor oil level and coolant overflow bottles each shift.
• Change engine motor oil and filter every 4,000 miles or 150 hours.
• Inspect timing belt condition and tensioner pulley every 12 months.
