Mirez Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 Blimey, how's an aluminum sump rust! Can't help on the actual sourcing of the replacement, but the 2.3 is a Ford engine that's also fitted to the Scorpio and Transit which might help you broaden the search! Quote

GT4THUG Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Posted February 2, 2011 no its a MK1 engine sump and its steel, brb with some pics as off to remove from the car.... Quote
GT4THUG Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Posted February 2, 2011 I wish it was Ali !!! is the sump then the horrors.... not 1 but 3 holes.. is the largest then 2 smaller ones are as its off now any ideas ? Quote
Mirez Posted February 2, 2011 Report Posted February 2, 2011 WTF? How has the rusted from the inside out? Quote
GT4THUG Posted February 2, 2011 Author Report Posted February 2, 2011 not sure which way it went, have just cleaned it up, and had a quick scout around but it seems like it was a pressed steel one in a MK1 which went to a alloy for the rest of the runs.... anyone know what else the Y5B engine was fitted to as so far breakers have either like wise or a full engine only.....
