  At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te7Acwp63og&amp;t=1078">17:58</a> you say the engine mounting bolts are to be torqued to 40 ft lbs. Well, I snapped a bolt at about 32 ft lbs which I was able to easily remove but I noticed it cracked my aluminum Oil Pan Assembly around that bolt. I looked it up and it’s supposed to be 15.9 ft lbs. 🧐 Now I need a new oil pan or find a used engine.

  Was a good tutorial and definitely helped us repair the bent crankshaft. I dont have a torque wrench so I just do it up by feel.

  Never knew Honda lawn mowers had timing belts until today

  I think the GVC compares well with other consumer lawnmower engines and I have seen pros use them commercially for a couple years (they are not considered to be up to commercial duty I understand) <br>one thing absolutely if it is rolling around in a trailer or pickup bed and hits something with the cam cover it won&apos;t run anymore !

  Just fixed my honda 160 and this was a great video to work along side me doing mine. Only issue i had was flywheel stuck to crank and puller cracked flywheel so since I had a new crank just drilled/cut the old flywheel off. Thanks for the video

  Glad this video was made recently. &nbsp;I hit a stump and caused an instant stop 🤣. &nbsp;Being a tech I knew I damaged the crankshaft. &nbsp;My lawn mower was dancing across the floor just like yours. &nbsp;I have never had a lawn mower engine apart before though. &nbsp;So thanks for this. &nbsp;Is there a crankshaft seal underneath the flywheel similar to the oil pan one that should be replaced or just leave it since the oil is not fighting gravity with it?

  Is a warduff key similar to a woodruff key?
