The V-engine is new for the Japanese at that time, and for Honda in particular. The angle chosen for the cylinders is 80 ° and the flywheel is heavy to do a good cyclic regularity at low speed. The distribution is provided by rocker rods and 4 valves per cylinder, each rocker arm actuated 2 valves. To disturb the driver\'s knees the cylinder heads directly derived from a racing engine are rotated by 22 °.
