still, i dont know how one of these things can weigh more than a 22r. my back tells me a 22r weighs more, and a 1.5/1.6/1.9 weighs at LEAST 50 pounds less. ive weighed a 22r on a good scale that was calibrated correctly. 315 lbs. and how can an 8 valve gas engine weigh somewhere around 200 lbs? theres just no possible way that a diesel weighs twice as much as a 1.8 gasser.
and i can pick up a 1.6 TD and pack it around. not for miles or anything, but i can. and considering a small block chev fully built ready to go is 522 lbs (corvette 327 with headers and an aluminum intake) i know there is no way on gods green earth that i could pick up a whole small block. let alone move it around on the floor very easy...

I think comparing the weights of both engines crank, pistions, and rods will yield a lot of weight in favour of the diesel.
How much does an O2O weigh?? 100-150? that still puts my "back-scale" at around 400 for a 1.6

an 020 weighs in at around 75 lbs... 4 speeds are about 60.

Dang you guys are big. 6'2" and 235, here. I know the I5 engines are heavy mothers, having picked one up to get it onto the engine stand at 4AM. And I have strung a short logging chain between the hooks on a 1.6 to carry it like luggage from the car to the checkout at a junkyard. Two handed heaving carry, about 75 metres (gonna change it up on you folks, ha!
) or so.
I weighed one wet once, when I was pursuing the possibility of putting it in the back of a Squareback, and as I remember if you discounted the weight of coolant and shed the AC components, you were within 60 pounds of the weight of a fully decked and lubed T3 pancake.

see, now that sounds more like it, 60 pounds off of a T3 pancake motor... i can believe that one. cause i can pick up a VW air cooled engine no problem....

According to the appendix of "A Diesel for a Subcompact Cars" (p.46) the 1.5 weighs 120kg, or around 265lbs. I would imagine this number included accessories for regular application..

325 sounds like an accurate real world weight. because a VR6 weighs in at around 400 doesnt it?
