Multiquip 14100ZE1812 Camshaft Assembly GX160 - OEM Replacement Part

The camshaft assembly controls valve timing and engine performance in Honda GX160 engines powering Multiquip MVC-90H plate compactors. This critical component operates the intake and exhaust valves in the air-cooled, 4-stroke, single cylinder OHV engine, ensuring proper combustion timing at the engine's maximum output of 5 HP at 3,600 RPM. The camshaft assembly is essential for maintaining the 9.9 cubic inch (163cc) displacement engine's performance, which drives the compactor's eccentric weight to produce 3,350 lbs of centrifugal force at 5,600 vibrations per minute.

Camshaft wear or failure typically manifests as reduced engine power, difficulty starting, rough idling, or loss of compression. Regular inspection during routine maintenance intervals is recommended, particularly when servicing valve clearances or performing major engine overhauls. The GX160K1QMX2/GX160U1QMX2 engine in the MVC-90H must maintain proper valve timing to achieve the operational speed of approximately 2,300 RPM that engages the centrifugal clutch for compaction work.

Compatible with:

• MVC-90H Plate Compactor
