1.9 AAZ Weight

[Rabbit on Roids]

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.

so to me a 1.6 weighs around 450-460 EASY... it was supppppppper heavy for two big guys to lift...

im 6'6" 210 lbs... not built by any means. how come i can pick up one of these bastards by myself? i know i cant lift almost 500 lbs. theres no way these things weigh that much.

You my friend must be what your name suggests... on ROIDS!!! 


I could never even think about lifting one by myself... im 6'2" and 255.. im definitely not weak.

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....

I weighted my aaz less flywheel and alt and it was  280lbs on my fish scale (I thought every body had a 300lb fish scale  must be just us Canadian guys).
Mark.

see, now that i can come closer to believeing. that doesnt sound like an off the wall weight. you canadian guys dont have a different pound do you? its still 16 ounces right? lol...

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..

[8v-of-fury]

well if the engine weighs 250 and an 020 weighs 75.. that's only 325.... full package.. plus oil, coolant, alternator, Everything fresh fro ma car.. i would say maybe 350-375 as to what i was lifting.. I can understand now.. 250 i could lift myself.. 375 no wayyy lol

[Rabbit on Roids]

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