[Healeys] Head Weight

[Mark Donaldson]

BMI was important in my rowing days on the water.   I still work out regularly on my Concept II erg here at home.

BMI = weight (kg) / height (m) squared

 

Just for the hell of it, I worked out the BMI for the cylinder head  . . .   37.64 kg / 0.72m  x  0.72m = 72.4

 

If it was human I reckon it’s doctor would be pretty worried.   25 is the ‘text book’ figure to aim for (according to the health insurers.)   😊

 

Yours, in lockdown,

But what is its BMI?   That's what's important.

The question regarding the head weight apparently struck a nerve so I took the bathroom scale (rarely used) to the garage and gently set a BJ8 head with valves, springs and intake studs in place, on the scale.  83 pounds.
