The Honda 14100-ZK2-870 Camshaft Assembly is a genuine OEM component designed for the GX240 horizontal shaft engine. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the exact specifications of the original, ensuring correct valve timing and a drop-in fit with no guesswork. This assembly is the right choice for restoring proper engine operation on GX240 engines, and verifying your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering is always recommended, as Honda supersedes parts at serial breaks.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Valve Timing Accuracy — manufactured by Honda to exact lobe profiles and journal dimensions, ensuring intake and exhaust valves open and close at precisely the right moment in the combustion cycle
- Direct OEM Replacement — engineered to install in place of the original camshaft assembly on GX240 horizontal shaft engines with no modifications needed to mating components
- GX240 Fitment — sourced specifically for the GX240 horizontal shaft engine; confirm your serial number against the compatibility table to ensure this assembly matches your engine's production range
- Restores Full Engine Power — a worn camshaft causes erratic valve lift, loss of compression, rough running, and reduced output; replacing it with this assembly brings valve actuation back to spec and restores consistent engine performance
The camshaft is the component that controls when the intake and exhaust valves open and close in a four-stroke engine. Driven by the crankshaft via a timing gear, it uses precisely shaped lobes to push the valves open at the correct point in each combustion cycle. On the GX240 — an OHV engine with pushrods — the camshaft also actuates the governor mechanism, so its condition directly affects both power delivery and engine speed control. When a camshaft wears, lobes lose their profile, valve lift decreases, and the engine runs rough, loses compression, or refuses to reach its rated output; a failed camshaft can also allow the engine to over-rev if the governor interface is damaged.
