Why is it that I usually hear people say, "yeah some Honda engines only weigh like 20 pounds."

Is that true?

How much do our engine weigh? What about transmissions?

I just find it hard to believe a engine can weigh so little

I guess those people are talking about the 4hp honda lawnmower engines

yah some do... wheed wacker engines

"it's not how much it weighs, it's how you weedeat with it"

But does it blend?

How do you even believe these people?!?! A 20lb motor would never withstand the heat that a car would require to move. You gotta think about the crazy things that people tell you and ask yourself if it makes sense. A Honda engine is like any other engine, it probably weighs 250+ lbs., I've lifted them before with friends.

I think I read somewhere that somebody had removed his engine and transmission and he figured his car was 600 lbs lighter. Our engines are relatively light for their size. It's not like we have iron blocks.

whats up with all the honda bashing? Honda negines are pretty light and small and make nice power. go look into a Type R motor.

type r motor does not weigh 20 lbs. its a good engine.

There hasn't been any bashing, yet.


"Go home Honda boy! Come back when you have enough hp to make it off the line!"

HONDA SUCKS.

"My lug nuts require more torque than your engine makes!"

"I see your engine is a 1.4L where my mountain dew has 2L."
"Racing a civic is like winning the special olympics.. if you win your still retarded"

I accidentally raced a civic today at the track.. it turned out to have the sohc engine it was such a dissapointed that I didnt even floor it at the end,, i just coasted down aww. I got my behind handed by a gtp tho lol

The honda block is made of aluminum so it is extremely light. That is most likely what those people are talking about. I lifted my buddys b18 out of his trunk when it was stripped down just to the bare block and it would blow your mind how light it is. You can lift it up with 2 fingers no problem but if you go to lift one of our iron engine blocks up it is quite heavy. I was bringing my bp block into the house and after a bit of walking it was getting pretty hard after a minute or so. You could easily carry 2 honda blocks, one in each hand.
