Very heavy if my 1600cc block is anything to go by!

I decided to mount it sideways to get the mass closer to the post. While it was was connected to the chain-block, I put my 80kg on top of the block and nothing broke or bent, so it should be OK to take a whole engine. The post is 50x50x3 with a brace about 1/3 of the way up.

Cheers Charlie

A rough estimate - 250kg. Probably less.

[/IMG]The siamese bore should be lighter as it's got bigger holes inside! :D :p

so the 450kg rated kinchrome stand should be sufficient thanks guys

It weighs about the same as a v8 - 180kgs - I have a series 1 engine and a V8 on engine stands in my garage at the moment. Both are the gasweld version - cost $75 each.

$79 for the 3-wheeled 350kg one and $82 for the 4-wheeled 450kg one as at todays specials list.

If you get one from them, ask for one that has ALL the bits that are supposed to come with it and try to ensure that ALL the holes have been drilled out fully to fit the supplied bolts... :twisted:

Cool - I hope you get as much use out of yours as I plan to get out of mine.

So does that mean, "I know I am going to have to do a lot of work on my engine and I think it is only fair that you have the same expense and inconvenience" or does it mean, "I hope my engine is so reliable that I never have to use it and I hope you have the same good fortune"? :p

Actually laughing here. No real answer, either. :D

I actually have to use mine - The Aussie Bride has just seen it, asked what it was for and how much use did I expect to get out of it. It has expectations made of it now :)
