Does anyone know the weight of a sohc motor by itself? i have a built short block with just pistons, rods, and crank. im trying to find out the approximate weightfor freight. but if u know the weight of a sohc motor, doesnt matter if its bare or complete, let me know, thanx. people who have shipped a motor before, please help.
thanx in advance.

 

here you go (from "Ryan's 88 crx page")

crx si = 218.9 lbs
crx std/dx = 207.7 lbs
crx hf = 195.3 lbs
zc = 247.9 lbs
b16 = 309 lbs

 

Are those weights for the complete engine? Or block and head

 

complete engine=block and head (longblock)

 

head is usually what? like 50 pounds by itself?

 

Email me back about the rods. I'm still interested in the motor.

once i find out more info on them, ill get back to you.

 

my shipping receipt says i was charged for 300lbs for my D16Y8 from IM to oil pan. minus the say 15lb tire it was on and im not sure if they weigh the pallet or not. not much help but you get the idea

 

I think they charge shipping weight including the pallat and all packing materials. So that would seem about right to me. At least everything I have ever shipped has been that way.

 

thanx for the info guys.

 

There is no way the head is 50 lbs! I wish we had another source.

I just weighed an old DX 16 valve D15 head with cam but no manifolds. it is 35 lbs. from '89 era DX
