600 cc engine shipping? Weight?
 

So, as most of you know, I'm parting out the F2. I might have to ship the motor though, and was wondering if someone can tell me how much it weighs. Also, could you give my suggestions on packaging/shipping?

Im not sure of the weight, but as far as packaging it, i would suggest strapping it to a pallet, then wrapping it in a few rolls of saran (sp) wrap. you can find the pallets behind most stores and they usually just throw them away... your probably gonna have to make sure its completely drained of all fluids too..

According to my shop manual the dry wieght is 59kg or 130lbs. And it's a two person job getting that little devil outta there

130 lbs is a very good number for the weight (old fsae numbers die hard in the brain) yes drain the fluids.....and I'd wrap it in saran before strapping it to the pallet. Also lay it on its back the tranny case instead of forward on the exhuast ports to reduce the chance of damage to the exhaust studs/head.

That is a very good point!

yeah, any fluids left inside will be considered HAZMAT and you will get charged a ton extra... plus it won't be able to get shipped on an airplane (unless the airline/carrier is hazmat certified... which most aren't except for AirNet i think...)

you don't want to open up that can. so yeah, make sure it's bone dry inside.

as far as 130lbs... that's almost as big as me!
