between a c20xe with an f20 and an x16xe with an f15.....

I have both engines in built up form and thought I might as well weigh them to see what the actual difference is as the argument has gone on for years......

the weight difference in the gearbox alone was 18kg, flywheel 3kg, head is quite a bit wider and deeper as is the block when you put the 2 side by side.....
