I am trying to figure out options for getting my head done, and i need to know how heavy it is

 

I'm not to sure but it must be a good 125lbs...I moved Chris head into the back of my truck and I couldn't believe the weight of that thing...The other guys should know the true weight..

 

yeah it is heavy,, I am figuring it is between 100 and 150, but it would be nice to nail it down a little closer,, makes it easier to figure out shipping

 

Did I say that I almost laid a egg moving it by myself....Looks like you found someone to overhaul the head....

 

Well I have a couple of options, none of them perfect. Thats why I want to find out how heavy the head is so that I can "weigh" all the pros and cons of each place

 

Hope Chris responses....He should know the weight....I think...Unless he is like the rest of us and forgot...

 

Kev, I had one shipped from PDR last year on DHL. Right to my door. I'll look thru my receipts. From what I remember, its wasn't that bad of a price. PDR put orings into my head for $300, the head was new around $1500. After GST, orings, shipping I was into it for around $1900 dollars.

Too bad you have a one year newer truck, as you could have that head. I just have it sitting on one of my spare engines.

Prior to shipping check for cracks. You'll save some money that way if its damaged. Die penatrate works good. I used compressed air. Mine leak out the combustion chamber between the intake and exhaust valves.

A $4k head PDR stage 2 cracked after 80000km. I had it ported to the max, orings.

 

I'm going to call close to 150lbs, maybe 155 or so.

They aren't as heavy as they seem while sitting on your fingers, or any other parts that are in the way.

I do believe 200 is close for a dressed head, with exhaust manifold and so on, but I could be a bit out to lunch.

 

I would say in the 150lb area, been a whilesince i've done a head. I know it was $200 to ship it DHL from PDR 3 years a go.

 

I read on another forum once 145 lbs, so ^^^^^you are pretty much dead on

 

Is what I was told. Crating it up in 3/4" plywood? 2x4's ? UPS's weight was 146lbs. Shipping and handling from Source in Oregon was 133 USD. S.

 

Thanks guys, that helps alot

 

Looked on my DHL slip from when I sent my 24V to PDR to get done and the return slip said 148LBS Kevin but that was on a narrow pallett.

 

Mine off the 01 complete weighed 147 lbs on the bathroom scale I borrowed. LOL Are you looking at shipping it out my way?

Scotty
p.s. the scale was my moms...she did not want it back after i was done with it.

 

Jamie, Mine came in a card board box. Did you get the orings cut as well? Is it on a truck? You buy an older truck buddy?

Been putting your old motor to good use. Its keeping a few trucks running hard buddy.
