Description
Overview:
The GCV Conrod is a genuine Honda connecting rod for GCV520U and GCV520 engines, responsible for linking the piston to the crankshaft and transferring power smoothly through the cycle. Made from high-strength aluminium alloy with precision-machined bearing surfaces, it is designed to run reliably in splash-lubricated Honda vertical-shaft V‐twin applications used in garden and groundcare machinery. Supplied to Honda's factory tolerances, it replaces worn or damaged rods to restore smooth running and reduce knock caused by excessive clearance. Identified by OEM No. 13200 Z0A 003 and MPN 13200Z0A003, this is a direct-fit Genuine Part that helps maintain engine performance and service life when rebuilding or repairing GCV-series engines.
Key Features:
- Genuine Honda part for assured fit and performance (OEM No. 13200 Z0A 003 / MPN 13200Z0A003)
- Durable aluminium alloy construction for strength with low reciprocating mass
- Precision-machined big-end and small-end surfaces for smooth, efficient operation
- Engineered for Honda GCV520 and GCV520U; also compatible with GCV530 and GCV530U
- Restores correct piston-to-crank motion after wear, overheat, or lubrication issues
- Made to factory tolerances to help maintain balance, reliability, and longevity
- Works with standard Honda pistons, crankshafts, and fasteners used in these engines
- Genuine Part quality reduces the risk of premature wear compared with pattern alternatives
- Suitable for professional repair and DIY engine rebuilds with straightforward installation
Typical Applications:
Used during engine overhauls or repairs on Honda GCV V‐twin engines found in ride-on lawn mowers, lawn tractors, and other garden machinery. Ideal when replacing a scored, bent, heat-damaged, or out-of-tolerance rod to recover smooth running, reduce knocking, and protect the crankshaft and piston assembly.
