As a direct OEM replacement, this engine is sourced through Multiquip's authorized parts program, ensuring the unit you receive meets the original build specification for your machine.

Key Features
- Genuine OEM Honda Power Source — Sourced directly through Multiquip's authorized parts program, this Honda GX160-based engine delivers the same output and torque characteristics as the original unit installed at the factory.
- Direct-Fit for 8FP Series Floor Planers — Engineered to mount and connect to 8FP series floor planers as a like-for-like swap, with matching bolt pattern and shaft configuration to the original installation.
- 5.5HP Honda GX160 Platform — The GX160 is a well-established commercial-grade engine known for consistent power output and straightforward maintenance, making service intervals predictable on the job.
- Sustained Planing Performance — A correctly functioning engine maintains the blade speed and torque needed for consistent material removal depth. A worn or seized engine leads to uneven planing and complete machine downtime.
- Verified Part Number GX160KQXC9 — Ordering by OEM part number ensures you receive the correct engine variant — not a close substitute — for your 8FP series floor planer.
The Honda 5.5HP Engine on the 8FP series floor planer is the machine's primary power source, driving the cutting drum that strips, scarifies, or planes concrete and asphalt surfaces. Without a properly functioning engine, the planer cannot develop the rotational speed or torque needed to maintain consistent cutting depth or surface finish quality. When the engine loses compression, fails to start, or delivers reduced power output, the entire machine is out of service — making a correct, like-for-like engine replacement the most direct path back to full operation.
