Off the top of my head, no one makes a clutch for that. You'll need to get a different crankshaft for that. https://www.amazon.com/Supermotorpa...t=&hvlocphy=9024749&hvtargid=pla-906569118852
Are cranks hard to change on these?
Would it be possible to grind in a key way?
I don’t want to take it to a machine shop or anything, I would probably just do it slowly with a die grinder.

it would be less hassle to get a new crank, because of the threaded bit at the end. also that shaft looks a bit short.

It's not terribly hard. Just go slow. The kit I linked has a complete gasket set. It'll probably take a couple hours your first time. You'll want to follow proper torque procedures and specs. You can find videos on YouTube on how to do this to help walk you through it. Just look up the torque specs and the videos will help you along.
IMO it will be easier buying a new crank and installing. You might need a new side cover too, but I'm not too sure about that
I think so. I want to go with OEM parts. So I got looking into it, and I have my serial number but it did not register in Honda’s website for serial lookup. It’s GCAAK-1572150.
Is there a way to lookup more specific details as to what crank I need?
Also, do I need a new rod? It doesn’t seem like there are bearings on these.
And how about wrist pin/piston since I’m going to be in there anyway?

Just crankshaft, no new connecting rod.
Thanks! Do you have input on buying an OEM one, such as part numbers? I don’t know if I mentioned, but my current GX160 is off of a pressure washer.
