The Honda 13316-ZA0-003 Crankshaft Thrust Bearing is a genuine OEM component designed for GX360 horizontal shaft engines, EL5000 and EX5500 generators, ES6500 generators, EV4010, EV6010, and EVD4010 RV generators, and H4514, HT3813, and HT4213 lawn tractors. As a direct Honda OEM part, this bearing is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring correct crankshaft end-play and a drop-in fit without rework. Confirm your machine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda periodically supersedes parts at serial number breaks.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Crankshaft Control — manufactured by Honda to maintain the correct axial clearance on the crankshaft, preventing the end-play that leads to premature wear and loss of engine integrity
- Broad Honda Fitment — covers GX360 horizontal shaft engines, EL5000, ES6500, and EX5500 generators, EV4010, EV6010, and EVD4010 RV generators, and H4514, HT3813, and HT4213 lawn tractors, including models you may not find covered by a generic bearing
- Verify by Serial Number — Honda supersedes bearing specifications at production breaks; check your unit's serial number against the compatibility table to confirm this is the correct bearing for your machine
- Direct-Fit Replacement — replaces part number 13316-ZA0-003 on a like-for-like basis, slotting into the original position with no machining or modification
A crankshaft thrust bearing controls axial movement — the forward-and-backward play — of the crankshaft within the engine block. While the main bearings handle the radial load of the rotating crankshaft, the thrust bearing takes the side forces generated by the PTO load and keeps the crankshaft positioned correctly along its axis. When this bearing wears out or fails, excessive end-play develops: the crankshaft begins to shift back and forth, which can damage oil seals, accelerate wear on adjacent components, and ultimately cause catastrophic internal engine damage. Replacing a worn thrust bearing promptly restores correct crankshaft positioning and protects the rest of the bottom end.
