Help/advice needed with Honda GC160 engine

<< < (2/3) > >>

Sid_Vicious:
Then I would give a quick polish of the bores and put it back together and give it a try to see if it runs. If it does it will maybe drop a few drops of oil from the bearings but afterfilling will take care of that. If that doesn't work you must do something more drastic

John Rudd:
Pete,
I've stripped and rebuilt a few of the 'clone'engines that have been attached to generators...
Usually these have been bearinged engines, with proper roller bearings for the mains....

I can only suggest going with the advice given.....but before you do....
1) check the bearing bore, make sure its clean, if it has an oil way make sure that is clear.
2) oil the crank journal, trial fit in both bores, makes sure it turns nicely...
3) re-assemble the engine, plenty of oil on the rotating parts as you go.
4) fill crankcase to level with new oil....

Now cross your fingers and hope it runs ( preferably longer than it did before..... :scratch:)

Finally, good luck with it.. :thumbup:

Spurry:
All noted thanks. I think it's rather ironic that the 'genuine' Honda has plain bores for the crank, where the clones have proper bearings.  :scratch:

hermetic:
Hi Pete, most of the Briggs and the like engines have a bearing at the drive end and a bush at the  mag flywheel end, I must admit I did think the Honda were bearings all round, but as long as it is oiled, the bush should be ok. Let us know how you get on!

The early Honda motorcycles (C90 etc) had the mains running in the crank case - we laughed and expected them to fall over in short order, but they didn't.

It's ok I suppose if the pressure die casting is made from a suitable material  :scratch:
