PLEASE KEEP IN MIND when you are watching my videos: I am showing you the least expensive, quickest "backyard" methods for repairing or servicing your lawnmower. Replacing all components such as gaskets and fuel lines is always recommended when rebuilding or repairing equipment. With these videos I hope you are able to fix and repair your lawnmower yourself with minimal parts, knowledge and tools. Thank you for watching!

I don’t have a problem with your procedure for the most part, but I have two suggestions. 1) both of the valve rockers are easily removed to get them out of the way when changing the cam pulley and 2) you should NEVER blow any debris from cleaning the valve cover sealer. Instead, you should always carefully scrape the old sealer away from the center of engine so that none of the debris falls into the crankcase.

These are junk engines and yet they still run half way, it’s easy to see why Honda quit the lawn mower engine business 😢

Honda makes a great engine alright but why they use sealant vs. gasket on the valve cover is beyond me. It takes me 15 min. to adjust valves but a tedious hour or more just to get the old sealant off. So, a month ago I did a ring job on a GCV160 (lawn mower) and after I cleaned the cover, I traced & cut a gasket out of regular FelPro rubber/fiber gasket material instead of the goo. As of today there is no leak. It is winter so I haven't used it extensively but I did start and run it hot for 20 minutes or so. Grass cutting season will be a better test but so far so good.

As long as the crank shaft does not move and the pulley marks are correct you don't have to mark the belt. If the belt moved on the crank gear it would be wrong.

Could you not have the " View" on when you are doing these? Those women clucking drives me crazy. lol. Good video. That's crazy how that chunked out. Not enough plastic now days.

I’m amazed that the timing belt gets saturated in engine oil. That’s something you try to avoid on a car engine.

Excellent video, Jeff. Thought I had a leaky valve cover on my GCV190 but turns out it was the O-ring seal on the cam pulley shaft that you pointed out. Thanks for the information!

What engine guy worth a grain of salt works in the dirt.

Great way to cook a power washer pump...no water?

[@watermanone7567]

Nice job Jeff: I have had to split the case on those type of engines to replace the belt in the past. You did a good job not having to do that to change that gear.

[@steveshelski]

Excellent video Jeff.

[@user-tz3yl7qo2e]

The chickens approve!! 😂 great video. Thanks

[@robpowell7599]

nice video like the details ... You should get a shop vac so you don't accidentally blow the gasket in a motor with the air compressor

[@Jim-ie6uf]

Well done
