Engine stand weights?

[NayJ]

This might seem a daft question to you guys but what's the weight of a gt turbo engine?

I'm looking to buy an engine stand to work on the engine and they come in 2 main sizes, 250kg standard and 350kg large, didn't want to go over kill on the large if it was ment for something like 5l v10 or sumat daft! Lol
Might also use the stand for f4r lump or tu lump so Gota take that into consideration

The whole cars around 800kg. the engine in a 5 isnt particually heavy, you lifting it with the box attached? Im sure the smaller crane is more than enough, engines dont get much smaller than the c1j.

He is after knowing about the engine stand not a crane, the 250kg stand is fine for the renault 5 (engine weighs around the 70kg mark I seem to remember, enough for two people to lift) and a lot of other engines you may work with in the future, I doubt even V8 engines weigh as much as 250kg.

Sound guys, did look in the manual but it's got every other measurement except that one

I use a 227kg three legged one for the V6 no bother :agree:

Mines a 250kg, did the job perfect for my c1j and it's doing just fine with my f7r
