Honda Crank vs Clone Crank

[Hondagx160DB]

I am in need of a new crank for my modded 6.5 blue Clone. Is a Honda GX160 or GX200 crank a direct swap with the clone? I might as well put a Genuine Honda Crank in there if I am going to buy one anyways. Thanks

If your motor is a 6.5 the Gx200 crank will work. Gx160 is a 5.5hp with alot less stroke.

what happened to your old crank?

I had a problem with my clutch being rusted on (I did everything imaginable to get it off). I ended up grinding off my clutch and accidently ground into the crank. I know it sounds stupid but thats what happened.

Not to thread jack but will a GX200 crank work in a GX160 to increase the stroke?

Don't think so, it won't fit.

It will fit, but to many mods to make it work.

The gx200 crank is best, stronger as well.

Sorry for the thread jack as well but what all has to be done to make a Gx200 crank work in a 160. I noticed last night that NR has a stroker kit for the 160's taking them to 180cc but it cost $500 and come with crank, rod and piston but doesn't really give that much info on it.

Don't even bother with it
Just buy a Predator motor at 212cc and be done. Cost $100

Sounds like you only want 10hp or less

Lol no I would like to see if I could get a Gx160 to 15hp but I might be dreaming a Lil too high. After I kill this one I WILL be going to a 200 or possibly a stroker but not exact yet.

Not to be a smart@$$ or anything but I would put money on my Gx160 making more that 10hp already.

MDB I also have both a gx160 and new 212cc to play with. Just trying to use the 160 as a test bed.....:grind:

The 160's block has a shorter deck so putting the 200's crank in would put the piston over the top. An extremely thick head gasket (I seem to recall atleast .050-.060") or a deck extension allows this to work. Sneaks on Bob's 4 cycle did a build on this.

Thanks as I have not had the time to pull this gx160 apart yet. I see gx200 reg. & tall blocks are only like $25 to $40 too so......:wink:
