What does a regular VW diesel weigh? Don't know the specs but they are plentiful and rebuilding a diesel is a snap. Doug Rupert

The engine block is aluminum, and to my knowledge the engine weight is way under 100 kg. The real intersting part is, that the engine develops a torque of about 215 Nm (about 165 ft.lb.) from 1900 to abot 3000 rpm. This would make it ideal for a direct driven machine. I will try to get more information fromt the German school about their work, anybody who is interested may mail me directly. Cheers, Wolfgang
