I'm going to have a rough guess and say it's about 160kg. Was more or less the same as what I used to lift at the gym.

Feck off! Your in the wrong job if you can lift that mate!

You can all lift 160kg on your own?  :shocked:

Can usually eat that on my own.

2 people can pick up an 8v or 16v engine however if fitted with a gearbox it is better to use an engine crane.

Dunno how I'm getting it back in.  :grin:

Dunno whether to stick it all together on the subframe then jack it up into the shell or just put the engine in last seperate with a winch.
