mechsmurf 0 Posted January 7, 2008 have just received my 1.9 project engine just wondered how much complete engine with gearbox weighs as i am looking to buy engine stand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,526 Posted January 7, 2008 You'll need to take the gearbox off to mount it to the stand. XU alloy engines are not heavy as some engines go so will be OK on the smaller engine stands available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mechsmurf 0 Posted January 7, 2008 would 250kg stand be sufficient Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,526 Posted January 7, 2008 I'd have thought so yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ORB 227 1 Cars Posted January 7, 2008 I would buy the biggest stand that you can afford. I take it you have been looking at the ones in Machine Mart or the like? Such as the below? http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/...0a-engine-stand If so, I would just put a few more quid in and buy the Stronger and more Stable stand like the one in the link below. http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/...0a-engine-stand I have one like the the above, and it is brilliant. My mate has the three legged one and to be honest, it could do with being more stable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted January 8, 2008 would 250kg stand be sufficient I'm pretty sure 1.9 8v engines are well under 100kg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 99 Posted January 8, 2008 The Mi16 is only about 100kg, so the 8v is definitely lighter than that, probably 80-85kg at a guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
