Seems like a small penalty to suffer for all that cheap extra torque-wat to go

Wow that is surprising!! I thought there was much more difference!!
Mind you I have only compared a fully assembled type 1 with a fully assembled type 4. All the extra bit's on the type 4 probably add up to a bit
more difference.

What about weights of bare blocks ? The type 4 is running fibreglass tinware. Also what alternators did they have ?
Just interested as teh differance between a type 1 and 4 bare is more than that so the type 1 bolts ons must be heavier.
From memory the type 4 was about 20kg heavier as a long block than a type 1.
I could be wrong though as it was a long time ag.

Again fairly rough measurements.
type 1 ~190mm
type 4 ~210mm
(center of crank to lowest part of case)
Both pretty much full depth end to end of case.

Andy,
we can get into a major long discussion about weights like is the flywheel lightened,crank size even rockers can all play a part in the overall
weight of the motor. I only put the weughts up as Mike Sharp asked me too.

No long discussion coming from me. As I said these are only elcheapo bath scales, so probably good to the nearest 5kg. Only trying to help answer
Brads question as I happen to be in the middle of fixing both.
What I weighed were both completely stock motors in long block form, both have pressure plate and friction plate on flywheel as can be seen in
photo.
About the only other things worth mentioning is the 1600 is Brazilian factory motor (don't think this makes any difference??) and 2000 is not
clean so may be 1-2kg of dirt build up in and on it.
If anything it probably confirms Mikes info anyway.
Andy over and out :thumb
