What does the 400 engine weigh without head & block ?

It was approximately 35kg, noticeably easier to lift than the whole lump.

I most certainly couldn't lift a complete engine on my own. But as I said previously, I can just about lift a bottom end so it sounds like 35kg is my absolute limit 😊😊😊

That sounds like the benefits of eating three Weetabix for breakfast Julie 🙂

engine out on a NJ engine mount by Macabe Thiele, on Flickr
My brother (Paul) came over to visit this morning - we two handed the engine lift initially me on the left side he on the right.
Momentarily rested the engine on the frame when it was 90% out - this enabled Paul to move his grip for the lift out onto a slab of Kinspan.
I think I had overthought the weight & difficulty. I did casually mention that NJ could lift an engine out unaided so this spurned him on.lol
Can you refit the engine with the sump attached but without cylinder head?
taysidedragon:
No. Sump has to stay off.
The weight I quoted was without clutch, alternator and starter motor!! Well done getting it out. Onwards and upwards now, subject to 'the boss' of course. 👍
Bryanj:
You can refit the engine complete, Honda did on the line, its just easier to fit only the bottom half as the top will build in the frame
