Hi
Two questions.. 1) Can I rest the engine on the ground with the heat exchangers attached? Without any damage? 2) I am trying to figure out these wires - the two at the bottom of pic. One is a single wire and the other is a set. I assume one is for inside light? Whats the second set for? |

I personally wouldn’t use the exchangers to support the weight of the engine.

I personally wouldn’t use the exchangers to support the weight of the engine. We have about 30 engines sitting on pallets, granted, most are 6's but there are a couple 4's. The type 4 engine weighs 325lbs fully dressed with trans and exhaust. the 6's weigh between 400-550 without trans. We've never had any issues. |
