The Honda 14100-Z4M-800 Camshaft Assembly is a genuine OEM component designed for the GX160 horizontal shaft engine. Sourced directly from Honda, this assembly meets the same specifications as the part that left the factory, ensuring proper valve timing and engine operation right out of the box. If your GX160 is showing signs of worn cam lobes — rough running, poor compression, or erratic valve behavior — this is the correct OEM replacement to bring it back to spec. Verify your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes camshaft parts at specific serial breaks.
Key Features
- Correct Valve Timing — engineered to Honda's exact lobe profile, this camshaft assembly governs precise intake and exhaust valve opening and closing events critical to combustion efficiency in the GX160 engine.
- Genuine OEM Part — manufactured by Honda, not an approximation; the lobe geometry, journal dimensions, and decompression mechanism (where applicable) are built to the original design.
- Direct OEM Replacement — designed specifically for the GX160 horizontal shaft engine, this assembly installs into the existing engine block without modification.
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda updates camshaft part numbers at serial number breakpoints; confirm your engine's serial number against the compatibility table to ensure this is the correct assembly for your unit.
The camshaft is the component responsible for operating the engine's intake and exhaust valves in precise sequence with the piston. Driven by the crankshaft via a gear set, it rotates at half the crankshaft speed and uses its machined lobes to push the pushrods that open each valve at exactly the right moment in the combustion cycle. When a camshaft wears or its lobes become pitted or flattened, valve timing degrades — the result is lost compression, reduced power, difficult starting, and uneven running. Replacing a worn camshaft assembly with a genuine Honda part restores the correct timing events and brings engine performance back to where it should be.
