Well my spare RB25 long motor has been sitting in a friends dads workshop for quite sometime and the time has come to move it to my house, if I don't he will send it to SIMS and there is no way my perfectly good RB25DET is going there!

So basically I am wondering what the best way of moving the engine is I live about 5-6kms from the workshop and the other problem is my 40 degree driveway down to my garage at the other end. Also does anyone know how much a RB25 long motor weighs?

If anyone has used a company they could recommend or have the means to do this themselves please reply here, pm me or sms 0404998591 with details and approx cost not wanting to spend an arm and leg just to relocate the motor. Also if anyone is looking for a RB25 I am willing to sell it at this stage as my motor is still perfectly healthy and it could be picked up from the workshop direct in this case otherwise I will hold onto it.

Thanks in advance for all replies

have a mate with a ute? van?

put it on a pallet and hire out a trailer or something? just make sure the block is tied well to the pallet.

there's probably 101 ways of doing this haha.. its not like you're trying to transport a house.

Thanks for the replies and thanks again Lee (pm sent) for your offer of help. Due to my driveway I have organised a Ute with a hydraulic arm to collect and deliver but wont be a while we need to get to the end which is in the corner of the workshop atm blocked in.

If someone on here is looking for RB25 Long Motor just pm me I may let it go if its needed better than sitting around collecting dust :/

      I see what you mean on that last paragraph and makes sense. I am leaning towards because I made the repair/filler area large that I didn't use a long enough block. Will minimise the area and let you's know how I go. This is random but I noticed when I put epoxy primer it felt flat but that's just temporary.

      Tried to repair with filler only. The block is a foam block but quite hard and I put a velcro on it for sandpaper, the hook and loop system. It's not one of those super soft ones that just follow the panel. Similar to a dura block.

      You need one of those automated sprays that puffs a nice small every 15 minutes in their room. Except swap the nice smell for chloroform...

      Vag Coil Diy loom wire guage selection

      Don't step down power supply size, maintain it the whole way. It's how I'd do it. OR, Id have one feed, with one joint that splits out to six smaller gauge wires that go to each coil. I wouldn't add joins like stepping from 12 to 16, at the first two coils, as if you try to continue that fashion, each joint will introduce a voltage drop. In theory, earths should be the same size as power feeds, however in this case the main power needs to be bigger due to the average size current. So the next question is, how much current do these coils actually need?

      I think Murray is onto it. It's sounding like either it's a soft block, not long enough block, OR if you're chasing waves, you're going in the direction of the waves, instead of across them. Rotate your sanding pattern by 45 degrees is something to try. You said you're going in an X, so now instead, from the same perspective, do a "t" instead.   If you're not able to have the block sit on top of two high points, and not touch the low point between them, you'll never get it flat.
