C contraption22 New Member Jun 20, 2011 #1 Jun 20, 2011 #1 Can I use the crank, rod and piston for a GX200 in an GX160 block? Thanks, Mike
Motra Active Member Jun 20, 2011 #2 Jun 20, 2011 #2 No. The 200 has a longer stroke and a noticably longer cylinder (it has an extra cooling fin).
mmisterbungl New Member Jun 20, 2011 #3 Jun 20, 2011 #3 if you need a genuine GX160 crank for some reason, I got one.
C contraption22 New Member Jun 20, 2011 #4 Jun 20, 2011 #4 Ahh ok. So the GX160 has a taller deck height. Any advantage to using a GX160 vs a 200... maybe the shorter stroke makes it a little happier at high rpm? The reason I ask is I have a GX160 and wanted to build up a genuine Honda vs a clone.

Strigoi Jun 20, 2011 #6 Jun 20, 2011 #6 a GX200 will put out a little more power than the GX160 when modded.
