The Honda 13311-Z8A-980 Crankshaft (D-Type) is a genuine OEM component designed for GC160 horizontal shaft engines. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring the correct stroke geometry, journal dimensions, and PTO end profile for this engine family. If your GC160 engine is suffering from excessive vibration, loss of power, or bearing failure traced to the crankshaft, this is the correct replacement to restore it to proper running condition.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM Crankshaft — sourced directly from Honda, this part carries the correct D-Type designation, matching the stroke geometry and journal sizing specified for the GC160 horizontal shaft engine.
- D-Type Variant Match — Honda produces crankshafts in more than one type for the GC160; confirm that your engine requires the D-Type before ordering, as fitting the wrong variant will affect bearing alignment and engine balance.
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda supersedes and revises parts at production breaks, so cross-check part number 13311-Z8A-980 against your engine's serial number in the fitment table to confirm this is the correct crankshaft for your unit.
- Core Engine Component — a correctly fitted crankshaft maintains smooth power delivery and protects bearings, connecting rod journals, and the PTO end from accelerated wear.
The crankshaft is the central rotating component of a four-stroke engine. It converts the up-and-down motion of the piston into the rotational output that drives the equipment the engine powers. On a horizontal shaft engine like the GC160, the crankshaft also carries the PTO end that connects to the driven load — making its dimensional accuracy critical to both engine balance and output shaft alignment. A worn or damaged crankshaft causes excessive vibration, knocking, accelerated bearing wear, and ultimately engine failure if left unaddressed.
