I took a gx engine apart the other day found the cup thing then spent half an hour crawling about the floor looking for the other. Only sussed it after finding a parts diagram.

those GX type engines have to be the mostly widely copied bit of machinery on the planet and each manufacturer does there own thing, 1 collet cup or 2 on others...some engines have soft valve stem seals and others don't so don't take anything gospel what you read. The main thing is the copies now have hardened crank journals and castings that don't weep oil oh did i mention the price of copies, i have just bought 3 new cranks and 3 heads for the same price as 1 Honda crank.
