The Honda 13311-Z8B-970 Crankshaft (Teikoku) is a genuine OEM component designed for GCV160 vertical shaft engines. As a direct Honda replacement, this crankshaft is manufactured to the exact specifications required for proper fit and function in the GCV160 engine family. Honda supersedes crankshaft part numbers at serial breaks, so confirm your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to ensure part number 13311-Z8B-970 is the correct application for your unit. The Teikoku designation identifies this as a specific variant — verify it matches your original crankshaft before installation.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Crankshaft — sourced directly from Honda, this crankshaft meets the dimensional and balance tolerances that keep the GCV160 engine running smoothly and within specification
- Teikoku Variant — the Teikoku designation identifies a specific crankshaft variant; match it to your original part to ensure correct fitment for your GCV160 engine
- Serial Number Verification — Honda issues crankshaft supersessions at production serial breaks, so cross-reference your engine's serial number with the fitment table before ordering
- Vertical Shaft Application — engineered specifically for the GCV160 vertical shaft engine; crankshaft orientation is critical, and installing an incorrect variant will result in improper fit
The crankshaft is the central rotating component of a reciprocating engine. It converts the up-and-down motion of the piston into the rotational output that drives the equipment the engine powers. In a GCV160 vertical shaft engine, the crankshaft must be precisely balanced and dimensioned — a worn, bent, or incorrect crankshaft causes vibration, power loss, and accelerated wear throughout the engine's lower end. Replacing a damaged crankshaft with the correct genuine OEM part restores proper power delivery and protects the surrounding engine components from further damage.
