Engine weight

Hi, just put my 3B on my engine stand complete with all the gubbins still attached, does anyone have an idea how much it weighs? I am currently very paranoid that i will find my block embedded in the floor along with my broken stand.

It will be fine, its less than 250lbs, most stands will do 250kg. I found these a while back, should give you an idea. You can lift each part on its own, i think complete bottom end would be too much for most people. (it is for me anyway)

* AAN Engine code 5 cylinder Engine Block with Pistons, rods, crankshaft, Oil pump assembly, oil pickup and oil pan, but without the following: oil filter housing, crank damper pulley and flywheel. 192 lbs
* Bare engine block without the following: No crankshaft, rods, pistons, oil pump or rear seal flange 118 lbs
* Crankshaft 44 lbs
* 5 pistons with 5 rods ~13 lbs
* Oil Pump assembly and rear seal flange 5 lbs
* Oil Pan, pickup and windage tray 12 lbs
* Front Crank damper pulley 11 lbs
* Dual mass Flywheel 27 lbs
* Complete Cylinder head with valves, 2 camshafts, intake manifold, fuel injectors, exhaust manifold 100 lbs
* Turbocharger 15 lbs
* Exhaust Downpipe 14.5 lbs
* A/C Compressor 17.5 lbs
* Alternator 16 lbs
* Turbocharger crossover pipe 4 lbs
* Intercooler with mounting brackets 11.5 lbs
* 01E 5 speed Transmission with shift linkage and Procon Ten cable guide 159 lbs
* Rear Differential with differential lock 73 lbs
