Wow. I wouldn't have guessed they were that heavy.
I can (barely) lift one onto the crankshaft by myself; I guess I am stronger than I thought.
I'm 6'3" and 147 lbs, and my son calls me "Skeletor" :laugh:

Too many projects.

115 Kgs each at 650 rpm, that`s a lot of momentum. no wonder some people have so much trouble trying to balance their engines.
