Honda Ftr 223 Engine

[Hollis Abdelkarim]

CurrentHonda general-purpose engines are air-cooled 4-stroke gasoline engines but 2-stroke, Diesel, water-cooled engines were also manufactured in the past.The current engine range provide from 1 to 22 hp (0.7 to 16.5 kW).

More than 5 million general-purpose engines were manufactured by Honda in 2009.

Approximately 70% of the general-purpose engines manufactured by Honda are supplied as OEM engines to other manufacturers of power products.

In October 2022, Honda announced a $700 million investment in Ohio to establish a new Honda EV Hub in Ohio, which includes retooling the Anna Engine Plant, the East Liberty Auto Plant, and Marysville Auto Plant, as Honda prepares for the production of battery electric vehicles. While Honda initially indicated production would start in 2026, in April, Honda announced that it will pull forward EV production in Ohio to 2025. Importantly, Honda expects to maintain employment stability across all locations during this transition.

As part of the new EV Hub, the Anna Engine Plant will produce the cases for the Intelligent Power Unit (IPU) that houses the EV battery module and its controlling hardware. Honda and LG Energy Solution (LGES) recently broke ground for a new joint venture battery facility in Ohio that will produce these lithium-ion batteries, which will power the EVs to be produced at the East Liberty and Marysville Auto Plants. Honda and LGES have committed to invest $3.5 billion in the new JV battery facility, with the overall investment projected to reach $4.4 billion.

The 2.9 million sq. ft. Anna Engine Plant reflects previous Honda capital investments totaling $2.9 billion and employs 2,900 Honda associates who build V6 and inline 4-cylinder engines, including 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0-liter turbo engines, the 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle hybrid engine and various engine components for Honda plants in the U.S. and throughout the world. The Anna Engine Plant has a total annual production capacity of 1.18 million engines.

Honda Manufacturing in Ohio

Honda has produced automobiles in Ohio for over 40 years, beginning in November 1982 with the start of automobile production at the Marysville Auto Plant.

Honda established U.S. manufacturing operations in Marysville in 1979 with the start of motorcycle production. Today, Honda employs more than 15,000 associates in Ohio across five plants with total capital investment of $14.5 billion and the capacity to produce 680,000 Honda and Acura automobiles, 1.18 million automobile engines, and over 1 million automobile transmissions and two-motor hybrid systems, using domestic and globally sourced parts.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled lawnmowers and recalled pressure washers equipped with the recalled general-purpose engines, and contact an authorized Honda Power Equipment dealer to schedule an appointment for a free inspection and repair.

Honda has received 2,966 reports of incidents related to camshaft failures since the last recall, in addition to the 2,197 reported incidents in the September 2023 recall, including 38 reports of minor injuries.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products has contributed to a decline in the rate of injuries associated with consumer products over the past 50 years.

SORE are a major source of pollution in California, surpassing light-duty passenger cars as a source of smog-forming emissions in 2021. This includes the emissions of raw fuel that continue to evaporate from engines, lawn mowers and other equipment even when they are powered off. To address this major source of smog-forming emissions, CARB passed a new regulation in 2021 to transition SORE to zero-emission technologies. This will help California meet its required federal clean air standards, clean the air and significantly reduce harmful emissions for those who work all day with SORE equipment.

American Honda recommends using unleaded gasoline with a minimum pump octane of 87 or higher for most gasoline-powered Honda vehicles. For a few vehicles, American Honda recommends using unleaded premium gasoline, such as pump octane 91 for best performance. Use of gasoline with a minimum pump octane below 87 can lead to engine damage...

Honda returned to the 500 cc class of the World Motorcycle Grand Prix series in 1979, following a twelve-year hiatus. The machine they had developed for their comeback - an entry in the World Grand Prix's most prominent class - was the NR500, powered by a four-stroke, DOHC V-four engine. With its oval piston engine incorporating eight valves and two connecting rods per cylinder, plus an aluminum semi-monococque frame complete with an inverted front fork, the machine surprised everyone with its daringly innovative technologies.

"When I look back at it, I'm not sure if we were experimenting with cutting-edge technologies or obsessed with foolish ideas," recalled Toshimitsu Yoshimura, an engineer involved in the development of the NR500's oval piston engine.

"The emphasis was to create a difference-not just any difference but the difference that would work to our definite advantage. That's why we decided that Honda should go with four-stroke engines. We wanted to achieve our target through innovative technology, and in so doing have the edge over our competition."

Road-racing circuits were in those days dominated by bikes with two-stroke engines. Despite this trend Honda went with its NR500 machines equipped with a four-stroke engine. That decision, however, wasn't so much a bold move as it was a natural choice.

During its first years in motorcycle racing - dating back to a memorable entry in the Isle of Man TT Race - Honda won event after event with four-cycle engines. They achieved so much success, in fact, that four-cycle engines came to be thought of as a Honda specialty. Though two-stroke engines had the benefit of relatively higher output, nobody could stop Honda from wanting to develop four-stroke engines capable of producing even greater power. In that regard, the conventional thinking proved somewhat contrary at Honda. In fact, competing in the TT race was in every perspective an extraordinary decision.

Adding to the Honda preoccupation with four-stroke engines was the fact that many in top management, who had decided to make a comeback in the World Grand Prix series, and those involved in the development, were imbued with the philosophies of Soichiro Honda, who had criticized two-stroke engines as being little more than "bamboo tubes." To them, it was simply out of the question to reclaim their victory with anything less than a four-cycle engine.

Yoshimura, who had actually designed the engine, was from the very beginning a staunch advocate of the four-cycle approach. "Four-stroke engines," he said, "have distinctive mechanical processes. The (intake) valve closes tight, combustion occurs, the exhaust valve opens, and the exhaust is released. It's a sequence of independent processes, each with a different function, working together to facilitate the engine's entire operation. This is really fascinating, from an engineering standpoint. I believe this mechanism will be the basis of further advancement in engine technology."
