Engine / Gearbox

Out of interest I weighed the engine using a borrowed load cell coupled up to my engine crane.

The engine isn't complete, but I'll try to explain what it has on it.....

The engine is dry and has fitted to it the flywheel, twin plate clutch, coil packs, spark plugs.  There is no starter or alternator included in the weight.  That will need to be added along with the oil.

With all that, the weight came to 186kg.  Not too bad I think.

I also weighed the gearbox.  The T56 Magnum weighs 62kg.  This is including the bellhousing, but no clutch slave cylinder (which isn't heavy).
