Is my Honda Engine made in China?

Hi All,
We have put together this little blurb to help dispel all the myth & innuendo surrounding the place of manufacture of the well known Honda GXV160 5.5HP engine so loved by many.
In short, the confusion created by Hondas advertising meant to simply alert buyers on Honda warranty v's other makers supplier warranty, has caused buyers to question the origin of engine manufacture. What Honda did not want to promote was the cold hard fact that ALL Honda GX160 & GXV160 5.5hp engines are indeed manufactured in China & have been since 2005 by the co-operation & joint venture of the Jialing Honda Motor Co.

Dear John,
Then I'll have to buy a Chinese Honda -

- don't you think the advertising of these products is a bit deceptive?

They never say in advertising that it's made in China.
Only a Google search will give you that answer.

I'd also recommend you go to a mower shop, not bunnings. I read something somewhere that there are still USA made Honda engines out there that are only available from mower shops.

Thanks - it says:

If it doesn't offer 4 Years FULL Parts and Labour for Domestic Customers, then it's NOT a certified Honda.

That one looks really nice John - 21" which would get the job done faster.
Self propelled too!
Still a bit pricey but it could it be worth it in the long run.
