The Honda 13311-Z8B-960 Crankshaft (Teikoku) is a genuine OEM replacement designed for GCV160 vertical shaft engines and HRR216 lawn mowers. As a direct Honda OEM component, this crankshaft is manufactured to the exact specifications required for proper fit and function in compatible units. Honda supersedes parts at serial number breaks, so confirm your machine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to ensure part number 13311-Z8B-960 is the correct application for your unit.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Crankshaft — sourced directly from Honda, this component meets the dimensional and balance specifications required for smooth, consistent power delivery in GCV160 engines and HRR216 lawn mowers
- Teikoku Variant — the Teikoku designation identifies a specific crankshaft variant; confirm this matches your engine's build before installation, as swapping an incorrect variant can affect bearing fit and rotating assembly balance
- Direct OEM Replacement — replaces the original crankshaft on covered applications with no modification needed to mating components when the correct variant is confirmed
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda updates part supersessions at defined serial breaks; cross-reference your engine serial number with the compatibility table to confirm part number 13311-Z8B-960 applies to your specific unit
- Restored Power Transfer — a crankshaft in good condition converts combustion force into usable rotational output; a worn or damaged crankshaft causes vibration, bearing failure, and loss of power to the blade or drivetrain
The crankshaft is the central rotating component of the engine. It converts the linear force of the piston's downward stroke into the rotational motion that drives the blade and self-propel system on the HRR216, or the output shaft on the GCV160 engine. When a crankshaft is bent, worn at the journal surfaces, or damaged from a blade strike or bearing failure, the engine will run with excessive vibration, produce abnormal noise, or fail to turn the output shaft at all — making crankshaft replacement one of the most significant engine rebuilds a technician will undertake.
