Will a 2.9 Sump Pan fit a 2.8?

[glenrobbo]

As per the heading really, does anyone on here know if the sump pans are interchangeable?
Austin's is looking like it could do with replacing, getting quite corroded.
Yes, I know it's an engine out job.

Same block, so yes, different gaskets though

[glenrobbo]

Thanks David,
I presume the different gasket is due to the modification to the timing cover?

I have a 2.8 sitting in my crashed xr4x4, let me know if you need some parts.
Don´t think shipping cost that much...

[davidh2905]

The 2.8 pan has inbuilt spacer pegs and the 2.9 has them in the gasket

[davidh2905]

2.8 gasket has holes for the pegs and 2.9 doesn't

2.8 gasket has holes for the pegs and 2.9 doesn't , no difference in shape though

Maffe, thanks for your kind offer, I will let you know if I can't find any closer to home. Or I could just pop up to wherever you've moved to north of Umea

Seriously, won't your sump pan be corroded given the local climate?
Also I don't have any Kronor, only beer tokens. It must cost quite a few of them to send a sump pan from the Arctic?
Looking forward to meeting up again in July.

Don´t know the condition of the parts right now the car is covered with about a meter snow...
Beer always work

Doesn't the 4x4 have a very different sump

I bought an old 2.9 engine from a Granada (I think, could have been Sierra?)4x4 and seem to recall one of the drive shafts goes straight through it!


2.8 could be completely different?

Just to complicate things, I'm on the track of a proper 2.8 one, no idea of condition until I see it, but the guy says he's also got an ally one, which I would prefer, but no idea if the dimensions are the same.
I don't think it's a dry sump version.
I think I'll get both!
Oh, and a sumpguard for the Mondeo in case I decide to do a bit more rallycrossing.

Nice Tonka!
I'm sure that's the same one....

What happens in S Club stays in S Club, right?
