The new line of Honda OPE engines should soon be appearing. They include the GCV145, GCV170, and GCV200. Apparently they'll replace the GCV160 and GCV190. I guess they are for lawnmowers and power washers.
skyactiv said:The GCV200 has been out for awhile and there is nothing but praise for the engine. If I'm right, it has 9.36 ft lbs of torque.
Here is a list of the torque ratings:
GCV 145 6.7 ft lbs.
GCV 170 8.2 ft lbs.
GCV 200 9.3 ft lbs.
Once source said the torque on the GCV 160 was 8.4 ft lbs, but at an extra 100 rpm, 2500 rpm vs 2400 rpm.
I'm liking it. I would imagine they will flood the generic lawn mower market with the GCV 145, and the others will be up market.
