Replacement Threaded Crankshaft For GX160
Generator Guru says:
The crankshaft plays a crucial role in your engine. It attaches to the piston con rods, and creates the turning motion. The gears on the crankshaft can wear out if you do not regularly change your oil.
In some rare cases, they can also bend slightly, resulting in misfiring or an engine that runs rough. If you have set your Valves correctly (check for damage) and your Push Rods are straight, then it could be either your crankshaft bearings have worn, or your crankshaft has bent. You need to take apart your engine to investigate.
Prolonged use of a damaged crankshaft can result in damage to your Piston, Piston Rings, Con Rod, and Big End Bearings.
