Careless Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hi Gents. It looks like i'll finally get my RB26 head with all the associated components that i've paid for, MINUS the block that it was going to come with. (that will come later) so now what I need to know is.... how much does the bare head weigh, if anyone has checked? Quentin? I know you had one sitting for sale at Whiteheads, and I've lifted a BMW I6 head for a 535i before and I can say it was around 80 - 110 lbs with the cams and valves and various stuff on it. Anyone have a more accurate figure for the RB26 or 25 heads? ITBs here we commmmmmmes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdizzy204 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 the 26 bare head is under 70 lbs for sure. i know this because mine was shipped ems from japan and they cant send packages over 70lbs. my entire head including cams,covers,etc came out to around 50-60 i want to say.

Careless Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 really? well the BMW head was a bit bigger than the GTR head anyway, and had the VANOS so it might add to the weight. so 70 lbs to be safe is pretty good. Maybe I can get this head within the next month or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth-Z Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 A clean RB26 head with out valve train, cams, and cam caps weighs 40 pounds. The pair of HKS 264 cams I have weigh in at 14 pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
