    Default Fit vs. Kent weight

    Does anyone know the weight difference between a Honda Fit motor and the Ford Kent motor?

    Which one weighs more?

    How much more?

    Ralph, the Honda is about 15-20 lbs lighter than an Alum Hd Kent, but the Honda does have only a slightly higher c of g.

    Thanks. Yeah, but you can put that 15-20lbs where you want it.

    Default Curious re: 'slightly higher' c of g

    I've not measured either yet, but would like to get an approximation
    Anyone care to be more specific?

    Center of Gravity Height measured with respect to crankshaft centerline:

    Ford with AL Head ~ Weight _________________; ~ COGH _________________

    Honda Fit ~ Weight _________________; ~ COGH________________________

    Thanks,
