1 General Information
The HFV6 engine features a closed vee, deep skirt die cast aluminium cylinder block with cast iron cylinder liners,
internally balanced crankcase, full length wa ter jackets and six bolt main bearing caps.
The cylinders are arranged in two banks of three with a 60 degree included angle between the two banks.
The right-hand bank of cylinders consists of number 1-3-5
cylinders and the left-hand bank of cylinders consists of
number 2-4-6.
The engine firing order is 1-2-3-4-5-6.
Each aluminium cylinder head is fitted with hardened valve
seats and four valves per cylinder: two intake and two
exhaust.
The valves are operated by two camshafts (DOHC) per
cylinder bank, one each for intake and exhaust valves.
The crankshaft is manufactured from forged steel. A reluctor
wheel is pressed in place onto the rear of the crankshaft for
the crankshaft position sensor.
The connecting rods are m anufactured from powdered
metal and the rod cap is separ ated during the manufacturing
process using the fractured me thod. This creates a stronger,
visually seamless rod to cap union.

MY06 Update
Throughout this Section, reference is made to 'MY06 Update' or 'Excluding MY06 Update'.
Vehicles manufactured post 14th Marc h 2007 are fitted with an updated version of the HFV6 engine. This engine
features a different timing chain, and as a result different sprocket teeth. This change also introduces the use of a new
special tool to assist in the serviceab ility of replacing the engine timing components.
All service procedures and descriptions specific to this update variation are qualified as 'MY06 Update'.
