The Honda 14311-Z9L-000 Timing Gear is a genuine OEM component designed for GCV170 and GCV200 vertical shaft engines and HRN216 and HRX217 lawn mowers. As a direct Honda OEM replacement, this timing gear is manufactured to the exact specifications required to keep valve timing synchronized and combustion events precisely sequenced. Confirm your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes timing components at defined serial breaks.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Valve Timing Accuracy — manufactured by Honda to maintain the precise cam-to-crank timing relationship that GCV170 and GCV200 engines depend on for correct ignition and valve events
- Direct OEM Replacement — designed to drop into the timing drive of the GCV170, GCV200, HRN216, and HRX217 without modification, matching the tooth count and profile of the original gear
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda updates drivetrain components at specific serial breaks; check your unit's serial number against the compatibility table to confirm this is the correct gear for your machine
- Consistent Power Delivery — a worn or damaged timing gear causes retarded or erratic valve timing, leading to hard starting, loss of power, and increased fuel consumption; replacing it restores crisp, consistent engine performance
The timing gear is a core component of the overhead cam drive system used in GCV-series vertical shaft engines. It transfers rotational motion from the crankshaft to the camshaft via a timing belt, ensuring the intake and exhaust valves open and close at precisely the right moment in each combustion cycle. When the timing gear wears, chips, or loses tooth geometry, valve timing drifts out of phase — the engine becomes difficult to start, runs rough, or loses power until the gear is replaced.
