Honda News Website
This is a pretty neat website for general official Honda information and some fairly specific informaton about each product
http://www.hondanews.com/
On the TL here is some great documentation on the various systems.

That's correct, but the link I provided has nothing to do with his HondaNews/AcuraNews. 
I was just answering one of questions in his another thread.

The Honda News website is primarily for auto journalist but anyone can view the info and pictures. You need a "press" account to view the pictures full-size however. Here is a example of the writing from the TL Powertrain 1 under the Technical section.
"ENGINE BLOCK
The lightweight die-cast aluminum-alloy block has cast-in place iron cylinder liners. These thin-wall liners are made using a centrifugal spin casting process that ensures high strength and low porosity. With rough outer surfaces, these liners bond securely to the surrounding aluminum, enhancing liner-to-block rigidity and heat transfer. For rigid crankshaft support and minimized noise and vibration, the block incorporates a deep-skirt design with four bolts per bearing cap. The block assembly is also heat-treated for greater strength.
CRANKSHAFT / PISTONS / CONNECTING RODS
The crankshaft is based on that of the previous generation TL Type-S. The counterweights have been adjusted to accommodate the slightly heavier high compression pistons. With taller, reinforced crowns, these pistons reduce the squish volume (the mixture trapped between the pistons and the cylinder head) and raise the compression ratio (relative to the Type-S) from 10.5:1 to 11.0:1. The connecting rods are made of forged steel.
CYLINDER HEADS / VALVES
Cylinder heads are an important factor in improving power and emissions performance. A key feature of the TL cylinder heads is the integrated exhaust manifold that is part of the cylinder head casting. Made of pressure-cast, low-porosity aluminum, the heads help keep overall engine weight down. Each cylinder head feeds directly into a close-coupled catalyst. To ensure positive sealing, the TL applies a three-layer type head gasket like that of the MDX sport-utility vehicle and NSX. A single Aramid-fiber reinforced belt drives the overhead camshafts."
