1-3-2-4 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Holy crap.. I had no problem picking up the ej25 shortblock.. but went to pull the ej22 out of the wagon and it was a shortblock as well and I had a little struggle it for sure feels a bit heavier.

idosubaru Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) the lesser cylinder wall/mating surface thickness that blows all the headgaskets must make it lighter. LOL maybe a small difference is substantial given the cumbersome work of pulling a block out of a vehicle. i imagine quite a few variables makes one engine pull hard to compare to another: engine mounts or other parts grabbing/sticking and geometry - position you're pulling from, height of vehicle, what you're standing on, how/where you're taking it from and too...can make a weight feel much more awkward even if it's the same weight - as in the difference between picking up a concrete block and a piece of furniture that weighs the same. then there's the weight of oil, coolant, additional parts.
