I don't think anyone mentioned where the weight loss is most important. off the rotating parts of the motor.
My crank, rods and pistons are considerably lighter. fan has every other fin removed, flywheel is 10 pounds (Thanks Kevin). Wheels and tire assemblies are 30 pounds each new rubber. So all that is really good weight that would in my non-engineering mind is worth more HP than an all fiberglass trunk lid. |
