Unfortunately you can't go back with your old motor unless you rebuild it or buy used.

So you are looking at 3 weight differences then.
Your old, and a choice of 2 new others at this time. Or 4 with the comparison with your friends Honda now.

The E-Tec 115hp and the 115hp H.O. weigh the same as the E-Tec 90hp H.O at 390 pounds.
That's 55 more pounds then your old motor and 70 pounds more then the regular 90hp E-Tec that you are also considering. (or were)
The E-Tec 90hp would weigh 15 pounds less then you have now.

Here's a list of current motors and weights.

Would like to hear from Ron and update his experience.
