Honda GCV 135 - cheddar
Hello,

I have a Honda lawn mower powered by a 4.5hp GCV135 motor, these were built I think from 1997 on though mine is a 1999 model. This engine and the longer stroke 5.5hp GCV160 are still current models and are unusual for being an OHC design with a wet cambelt, i.e running in oil within the engine. They are very quiet and are praised for efficiency and low emmisions.

I have a fairly comprehensive guide to the engine which tells me that the valve clearances need checking every 150 hours (reckon mine has done between 150 and 200 hours) though there is no mention as to what the clearances should be. Also I am not sure if the cambelt needs changing though I guess that the engine will be non interferance.

Any ideas?



Thanks.
