Engine Looking for replacement GCV160 mower engine

[electropower]

Hello All,

I am new to the forum. I have the following Honda mower:

Model: HRR2168VKA
Serial: MZCG-8509525

Engine:
GCV160A0 MX1 R280
GJAPA 1697756

I would like to replace the engine (bent crankshaft), since the mower body is in great condition.

Does anyone know what engine models are compatible with this mower ?

Also, are there any recommendations for where to purchase ?

Thanks in advance !

Why not replace the crankshaft?
It is a excellent learning experience.

What is the length and diameter of the crankshaft?

In my experience, in order to get a drop in fit, you need an engine that's off a similar Honda mower or that's made for a similar Honda mower. Honda uses 4 mount bolts instead of 3 like most other brands.
