Weight of KZ750 short block

FINALLY being ready to reinstall my engine in my bike! Decided to weigh the “short block” before doing it. This is the engine with pistons installed, but no cylinders, head, or cam covers.

it weighs 108 pounds.

Which btw is fzcking heavy to lift between bench and storage. Glad I won’t be lifting THAT again! Fun while it lasted, though.

Yes that's an excellent idea. It definitely beats the 'milk crate-frame straddle-broken back method', for sure.
