gx160 lightened crank?

[mike75925]

tore into my 160, crank's pin (for the connecting rod) is hollowed. seems factory, theres flashing on it. has agk something or other on it. is this a stock or aftermarket crank? was thinking about swapping my clone carb and clutch on to it. 200 clone has longer stroke, so i assume less power in shorter stroke. no replacemant for displacement. otherwise i was gonna swap the 160's fly/fan. cam has lines every so many teeth, but runs decompressor, possible stock as well?

The big rod end on my GX200 clone is the same way. They all come like that stock.

mine isn't. only the actual gx160's is.

What do you mean?

 

[mike75925]

my clone has a solid crank, it is slightly rainbowed too. my actual gx 160(not a clone) has the hollowed crank pin what have you.

My GX200 has a induction hardened hollow crank journal.

Lol, to my knowledge (or at least my Clone), they're all "lightened".

I dunno about my GX160 Clone crank, didn't have the chance to take a peek at it yet.

Oscar, Take off that razor edge on all gasket surfaces on that engine. You wont regret it. I was ajusting valve lash on my clone and my hand slipped and got sliced wide open. Your gasket surface edges look pretty beat up?

flashing does suck. should i swap the cranks, or build the 160?
