I got myself a nifty digital scale a few weeks back and
ever since I;ve been experimenting and checking out various counterweights and
stuff. Since most of the engine counterweights arent marked, its easy to get
them confused once you take them off the engine they came on. I usually mark
mine, but it'd still be nice to be able to differentiate. SO, I've been
weighing them. Here's what I found. This applies to automatic rear
counterweights only.
GSLSE s3 11.5 rotors, ctwt weighs 4.30lb
86-8
s4 10.5 rotors, t2 and NA, ctwt weighs 4.04lb
(I havent gotten time to
weigh the s5 ctwt I have, so no numbers on that yet, though it SHOULD be the
same as FD)
93-95 s6 9.5lb rotors (FD/turbo) cwtw weighs 4.03lb (not enough
of a difference to distinguish from the s4)
I compared the s4 and s6
ctwt and can find no difference between them at all in weight or dimension.
THe s4 was ordered brand new, and the s6 was removed from a stock original FD
core
motor, so I trust these results. I plan to weigh the s5 ctwt
soon and see what my results are.
In a later post he went on to confirm that the S5 ctr weights also
weighed 4.04.
Hmmmmm....
