X-Mozilla-Keys:                                                                                 

I have been thinking that it may be more economical to mail back the engines.
 What is the weight of a short block 13B?  There is a 70# limit with the US
mail.  What about if I were to dismantle the engines here?  What is the
weight of the heaviest part?  How would people feel about getting a 13B in
2-3 packages?  I guess its time to get that video on rebuilding the 13B  :-)

Good idea Dave. We need to take them apart anyway.
The end housings are about 35 pounds. The rotors are nine
pounds so they could go in one box. In fact I think both rotor housings
and rotors could go in one box. The e-shaft maybe around 25 
or 30 pounds I forgot. You might get it down to four or five boxes.

The more I think about it the better I like the idea.
