Zetec weight
Anyone know how much a 1.8 Blacktop Zetec weighs?
SWMBO's not too keen on me borrowing the bathroom scales...
Cheers.
Pete.

from memory - 111kg bare. To put it another way, its 1.95 ZX10R engines but you still need a 39kg gearbox and a few other bits.

Thanks chaps, much appreciated.
Bet the 10R motor and R1 motors are about the same weight, wouldn't want to get my knee down or wheelie the R1 with a Zetec engine in
it:
Seriously though that makes it 40KGs lighter and 20bhp (in std form) more powerful than the MGB motor its replacing. Need to get the spring rates
sorted now.

Gotta be kidding me, I can lift the engine without the alloy head wich is not that heavy and I'm not that strong.
I don't know how much the 1.6 ZetecSE weights bare, but that one I lifted a few weeks out of the back of my car. So zetec without head wieghts
as much as the full zetecSE. And I'm just a IT wimp

it is, but my point is that the complete zetecse weighed the same as the zetec without the head on.
