Hi,
Does anybody know of any Good Couriers for an Engine Block.It has all of its Internals (Crank,Pistons,Rods Etc)But has no Head,Gbox,Alternator,Pipes Etc only the Starter Motor Attached.

I would say it roughly weighs 65/70Kgs?

It is a X16XEL.

Thanks
Craig

Well DHL delivered my engine, it was a complete engine (except gearbox and shafts) and was the 1.8 XE1 jobbie.

Aslong as it's on a pallet and wrapped pretty well should be ok for any courier. I'll find the delivery note to check how much delivery was for me for delivery.

How did you Strap the Engine Down to the Pallet and what did you Use to Wrap it up with?

That would be Great Mate.

Thanks

They used that white strap stuff, you use a winch like device to tighten? If get what i mean

And an inch thick box round it with padding inside, then that plastic film around it.
