Truly amazing

I have never seen or even heard of camshafts being manufactured in the manner the H6 items are. Can be sure there will never be any aftermarket cams for this engine - ever. There wouldnt be an aftermarket cam manufacturer anywhere that could make a cam in that manner

And for those who want to alter the tune so they can rev to redline in P or Neutral in their automatic cars, bad bad plan.

At low engine speeds, the lift is reduced
to increase intake air speed and to obtain
effective combustion and higher torque output.
The lift of the two valves are different from each
other. By differentiating the intake air volume
in this way, a swirl occurs in the combustion
chamber and combustion is improved.
At high engine speeds, the lift is increased to
reduce intake resistance and to obtain higher
power.
To protect the engine, the system does not
allow racing up the engine to high speeds in
P or N range.

I would like to know where to find that air bleed for the coolant system as depicted in image 137 - without going to car I cant identify exactly where that is on the engine

[High Flyer]

Ditto, great find.

Thanks

Given that this is obviously an American book, what differences are there between this and the Australian version?

Also, given that this is a 2009 publication, are there any differences between the pre and post facelift engines and, if so, which engine does this manual refer to?

(this is why I don't do anything under the bonnet other than check those things with a bright yellow lid or handle on them)

cheers,

Ace find, thanks Rob

I'm with Brad, curious to know if the Aussie 2005 h6 is exactly the same as the Legacy h6 of the same year. If so, that may explain why the 2005+ specBs get better fuel economy than the 2004 models, due to the VVT and lift.
