The Honda 51117-VB5-800 Engine Spacer (A) is a genuine OEM component designed for HRA215, HRA216, HRC215, and HRC216 lawn mowers. Sourced directly from Honda, this spacer is manufactured to the same specifications as the original part it replaces. Honda supersedes parts at serial breaks, so confirm your mower's serial number against the fitment table before ordering. If you are servicing any of these Honda walk-behind mowers, part number 51117-VB5-800 is the correct OEM reference to verify against your machine.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Fit — manufactured by Honda to match the original Engine Spacer (A) exactly, ensuring the part seats and functions as intended on your mower.
- Broad Mower Compatibility — fits HRA215, HRA216, HRC215, and HRC216 Honda walk-behind lawn mowers; check your serial number against the fitment table to confirm the correct variant for your unit.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — designed as a like-for-like swap for the original spacer, requiring no modification to surrounding components during reassembly.
An engine spacer positions and separates the engine from the mower deck at a precise, fixed distance, maintaining the correct alignment between the engine and the blade assembly below. This consistent spacing is essential for keeping drive components properly aligned and for absorbing the minor flex that occurs during normal mowing operation. When the original spacer is cracked, deformed, or missing, engine alignment can shift, leading to uneven wear on connected components and potential vibration or noise during use.
