The Honda 14100-Z0V-790 Camshaft Assembly (Power Red) is a genuine OEM Camshaft Assembly designed for GX160 horizontal shaft engines. As a factory-original component, this assembly is manufactured to the same specification as the part that left the production line, ensuring proper valve timing and correct lift profiles for the GX160. Honda supersedes camshaft part numbers at serial breaks, so confirm your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to make sure part number 14100-Z0V-790 is the right match for your unit.
Key Features
- Correct Valve Timing — as a genuine OEM assembly, this camshaft carries the exact lobe profiles Honda specifies for the GX160, preserving intake and exhaust timing that aftermarket grinds may not replicate.
- Direct OEM Replacement — this assembly is engineered to drop into the GX160 engine without modification, aligning with Honda's bearing journals and drive gear geometry.
- Serial Number Verification Advised — Honda updates camshaft specifications at production serial breaks; check your engine's serial number against the compatibility table to confirm this is the correct assembly for your GX160.
- Performance Integrity — a worn camshaft causes erratic valve operation, loss of compression, hard starting, and reduced power output; replacing it with a genuine OEM assembly restores the engine's designed performance.
The camshaft is the component responsible for opening and closing the engine's intake and exhaust valves at precisely the right moment in each combustion cycle. Driven by the crankshaft through a gear set, it translates rotational motion into the rhythmic lift that allows the air-fuel mixture in and lets exhaust gases out. When a camshaft wears or its lobes become damaged, valve timing drifts, compression drops, and the engine may run roughly, lose power, or become difficult to start — making prompt replacement with the correct OEM assembly essential to restoring full operation.
