There are many Chinese copies of Honda's OPE engines, including the GX200. For example, the Lifan-made Predator 212 is a GX200 copy so accurate that genuine Honda parts fit on it.
Why don't they copy the OHC engines like the GCV 160?
I've seen the leaf blower Chonda engines, copies of the GX25, but not their mainstream OHC lawn mower engines like the GCV160 and GSV190.
The OHC design is probably quieter and more fuel efficient than the OHV.
I switched to electric, but if I wanted a gas lawn mower again, I'd buy one with the GCV160.
So my question is, why hasn't anybody copied the GCV OHC engines?
