T16 head weight

Si · Post by Si » Mon Mar 06, 2006 10:58 pm

Complete head without the inlet manifold, but complete (cams pulleys and covers.)

How much do you reckon it weighs? Under 20kg?

just weighed.

bare head, no cams and no valves or covers = 15.8kg

won't be super accurate on bathroom scales, but close enough.

so with cams etc and wrapping if it's to be shipped, i'd say under 20kg

Cheers G

Hope it is less than 20kg then royal fail can take it.

Ive spent about Â£50 on posting stuff over the last few days

well a rough guess is cams are only a kilo or so each, and then cam covers next too nothing so i'd see that as 18kilos all in, plus packing.

should be just under by a scraping

Its well over 20kg even on my crappy bathroom scales

Do Royal mail not do 20kg + ?

GeraintUk · Post by **GeraintUk** » Wed Mar 08, 2006 12:58 am

what about royal mail parcelforce48 ?

did try a few times on the electronic scales, and always got 15.8 region, but not perfect as couldn't get the entire head on the plate, but i'd be surprised if it was way over 20kg.

i know my scales have matched pretty much to doctors seeing as i have to weigh myself all the time for my diabetes clinic stuff

Royal Mail do up to 30 kilos in the local place here , might be worth just taking it in and trying.

I went from 90ish Kg to 115ish when i picked up the box. My bathroom scales are a bit dead though. Valves, springs pulleys and cams must weigh a fair bit then.

I reckon cams are over a kilo each, valves weigh a fair bit, lifters are heavy, etc...
interparcel I use...

Si · Post by Si » Thu Mar 09, 2006 3:36 pm

29.kg including an alternator tensioner, packaging was quite heavy duty though and prob added a Kilo. I would say the head alone built up is 25kg.

Cost Â£28 for parcelforce 48, insured up to Â£150.

Parcel Force = Parcel Farce

UPS std rate for a UK next day delivery would have been Â£29.70 and guranteed to get there, and fully trace able on the web unlike some

Sorry just had to plug my employeers.....

Dude, do you have to hold on to something when it's windy?

The mrs' norks, so it's not all bad.

I always was a quick sprinter though, and skinny arms come in handy when working on cars.
