Does anyone know roughly what an 04 Bosch 4.6 aluminum engine block weighs?
Bare, no crank, nothing.
Thanks

 

Around 60-80 pounds if I remember right
closer to 60. Easily lifted on your own

 

I agree around 60 lbs. I just had mine stripped down last week and picked it in and out of the truck bed no problem.

 

That's it!?!?
That's great!
Reason I ask is that in the near future I have to replace valve cover gaskets. While I'm at it, I'll be searching for whatever is causing the tick.
If it's a cam bearing, I'm pulling the engine.
I'll drop the crank first, heads off, ect.
I can pull the engine apart in it.
Saves me the hassel of borrowing a friend's engine crane, laying plywood on gravel driveway for it to roll, and getting it into my garage (Disco is too tall to fit under my garage door lift arm).
I like to have a plan before I start a job.
Thank you guys so much!
