Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): GCV190 crankshaft thrust washer, thrust washer, arinet


Question
I am replacing the crankshaft and connecting rod in my Honda GCV190 lawnmower engine - when I took it apart I forgot to note how the thrust washer was facing (concave/convex) also what should the crank end play be and how would you set it?
Thanks
Ken

Answer
Hello Ken:

You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Mower/Engine at this Site Addy, http://hayward.arinet.com/scripts/EmpartISAPI.dll?MF&app=ASP&lang=EN&TF=Mainfram... and Select the Catalog American Honda. The Thrust Washer is Placed with the Convex Side Up. The End Play is a Non Issue on this Engine. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck
