b16 engine & gearbox when wet (ie all fluids) is about 140ish.

I'm not sure if that includes shafts, intake manifold or exhaust manifold.

u learn something new everyday

thanks guys..
my gf told me it was 150ish and she knows sh1t all about cars and i didnt believe her.. lol owned by a noob =( LOL

motor is still sitting in my car
would you guys have a rough indication on the dimensions of the pallet needed ? i guestimated 90x60x75 cm's.. is that abit too small ?

MT > ZT lol

[JasonGilholme]

probably best to get out there and measure yourself. It'd be similiar to the dimensions of you engine bay.

I initially thought it would be more then that as well but after a bit of research i found that it was only 140kgs

the D series are a bit lighter (by about 10 kgs) and i'm sure the H and K's would be heavier then the B but i doubt any of them would be over 200 kg's (could come close to it though)

Good couriers to use would be AAE(australian air express) as my company use them all they time very reliable. Dont use allied express their tracking system has so much flaws

[roar]

K series is very light for a 2L

[JasonGilholme]

how much do they weigh???

I'm guessing honda engines in general are light for their capacity.

[rfah]

hahaha shit thats light as time to do bench presses with my engine haha

It'll be around 100-150 kg. I know that most courier company will only pickup motor when there on the pallet.

[defect]

I think thats nearly all courier company
whos gonna pick up a motor and put it on a truck without pallets

[bennjamin]

best to ask someone with a scale and a engine hoist la. Lift it up and slowly place it on a scale ( even a bathroom scale should take the weight)
OR just ratchet clamp the engine+gearbox to a pallet and let the guys pick it up.

yepp. you're right jimmy. they only pick up parts ifthey're properly packed and ready to be sent on a pallet.

got a quote from air road direct and it was 180bux. fark. so cheap ! thats just guestimated measurements though.. at 200kgs.

hope its not any larger.. =/
