And she weighs in at 218.1lbs. This is a 12a with no manifolds, no clutch, just flywheel, waterpump, dizzy, and the basics.

So how much do they weight without the dizzy cap and the oil filler cap J/K

I guess they don't weigh a whole lot at all.

very nice. good to know how much she weighs!

Amagi82

218.0lbs


The water pump weighs 14.6lbs, just in case you cared

And according to other info I've read, this engine has a 26lb flywheel. So if you got a 10lb aluminum flywheel, and made up a custom intake mani, and got a header, you could have a complete running 12a that weighed like 215lbs, plus the weight of oil and coolant.

where did you weigh the parts and engine???

Amagi82

On the nice digital bathroom scale made out of glass, lol. Mmmmm, FANCY!

And no coolant, no oil, no alternator, no A/C compressor bracket, no A/C compressor or air pump...

Amagi82

well, i guess coolant, oil, and alternator we need, but who the heck needs A/C or an air pump???

If it's a short race and for enough cash, you don't need coolant or oil either...

Or perhaps the Honda would be better suited for that... Half a ******* hour with no fluids... Damn

Thats more than I would expect a 12A to weigh. I figured around 150lbs. Well, there goes my chances of taking the engine out without an engine crane.

just get a friend, a 2x4 and a chain. you can get it out easily like that. I think the haynes says to do that if you dont have a cherry picker

me and a friend almost got a 12a out of a 7 with just our arms and a peice of angled iron.. we got it to our shoulders, but couldn't get it any higher.. should've taken the manifolds off.. oh well, we figured it weighed that much after almost giving ourselves hernias...

The 4 port 13B I just rebuilt has the heaviest flywheel ever at like 33LBS (REPU style). It also has a GSL-SE exhaust manifold and an Hitachi carb with the cast iron base plate. Not to mention a cast iron FB waterpump.

With clutch assembly, alt and dizzy on, but minus the manifolds, It felt the same weight as my stripped 20B on the engine crane. I'm affraid to weigh them on my mom's glass bathroom scale.

not actually related but my GSL weighed 2460lbs bone stock
Should weigh around 2400 now, gotta get a lightweight battery and my exhaust all done up to chunk a few more pounds off.
Woohoo

Thats a good piece of info that means i should be able to carry one out of the junk yard. We have a local yard that is 10 bucks for any thing you can carry out the gate. Cheap motor! even if it needs a rebuild. BTW anybody got a weight on a 13b?

sweetege

look at my sig, that's with everything except cats, airpump and acv. (on my gs)

peejay

Jeez Node my GSL weighs 2400 with power steering!

Must be that fully 16-gauge exhaust system from engine flange to tips
