Title: Honda & Clone Cranks
Post by: westcoast racer on September 09, 2013, 06:29:46 pm
Will the clone crank interchange with the honda crank?  Are vertical cranks the same as the horizontal cranks?

I need to know if I can put a horizontal clone 420 crank in my GXV340. 

Are the rods the same?

cranks wont interchange. rods are the same length,but horizontal has dipper on it,vertical does not.vertical has two balance shafts,horiz. has one,vertical has oil pump drive on camshaft,horz.doesnt have oil pump.crank shaft tapers are diffrent between horz.and vertical also
