Weight of Crank, head?


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I am in the process of getting prices together to ship crank, flywheel clutch cover and head

to the Uk.

 

Unfortunately the household scales have gone missing.

 

So i am looking for the weight of Crank, Flywheel (21lbs ?) clutch cover, and the head.

 

Thanks

Well i managed to weigh the flywheel with ring gear attached 31 lbs

 

Head 49 lbs

Clutch cover 14lbs

Crank still attched but cant be more than 50lbs

 

Cheers

Guy

 

 

Glad you got that sorted out Guy. I could have helped you with the head, clutch and flywheel as I still have those here at home but we threw the bathroom scales into the dumpster during a recent house clean up.. I was going to guess that the head, crank and flywheel were all around the same weight but your numbers make sense. That is a lot of metal to have to ship..

Hello,

 

I weighted all the pieces in my engine and what you request is (converted to pounds and rounded):

 

- Crankshaft: 44 lbs

- Flywheel: 29 lbs

- Clutch cover: 12 lbs

- Head: 51 lbs

Thanks Jesus,

:)

By the time i have made up a ply box with polystrene etc, should be looking at

about 150 lbs or thereabouts, am in the process of obtaining shipping costs,

that should be interesting.

 

Cheers

Guy

Hi Jesus

 

Your weight of the head at 51 lbs. Is that with the valves and rocker shaft in?

I kept most of my recon. weights but forgot to weigh the head separately, so I can add that info to my other figures.

Hi Dave,

 

The weight is with valves and springs. Sorry for not including this detail.

 

For the ensemble rocker shaft + pedestals +rockers you should add about 2,2 lbs .
