safcdixon Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Strip what you can off it and get a mate to help you carry it they aint that heavy once most of the ancillaries are off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 any ideas how much it weighs with the turbos and manifold stripped off bud? but means i would have to rebuild it all on the front garden which i wanted to avoid would be more hassle any ideas where i could buy an engine stand thats not wider than 78cm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 pay to get geo to come down lol he will lift it over the fence as it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 lower the engine onto a small trolley..., or "borrow" a supermarket trolley or remove the gate/gate post or get Geo to throw it over your house into the back garden. EDIT; Rob had similar idea just quicker than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too initially thought it was much heavier esp when I had to manually get it off the trailer when I got it home from jurgens without a crane. I WAS SWEATING.
