Title: Gaskets and seals on 24V manifolds etc.
Post by Oilyspark on Jul 30^th, 2010, 2:55pm

Having not been posting here for a couple of years (not having a Scorp in the meantime) I'm pleased to say I have another (or two) project cars once more, and the job in hand is reassembling the plumbing on top of a 24V engine.

I'm sure that in the past I found somewhere, but cannot now find, a handy list of part numbers for all the seals and gaskets that you need when refitting manifolds, cooling pipework etc. on this engine.

Does anyone know where I can find this or if I am mistaken?

Thanks
Lucien

Thanks Snoopy - I assume that collection of seals etc comes as a kit so will ask the dealer about that. Can't see whether the bags contain the little green seals that go on the ends of the metal cooling pipes though.

I have a pipe connection issue with the EGR valve too. The venturi pipe has come away from the exhaust system leaving a flange bolted in place. Was the pipe originally welded / brazed into the flange? Odd because the bare end of the pipe shows no sign of ever having been attached in any way.

I think it uses an olive, see here:

Thanks - that makes much more sense. The olive must have fallen out when unbolting, I admit I wasn't watching what was going on, just groping down the back of the engine.

BOB = engine code for the Scorpio 24v engine.
BOA was the engine code for the 24v Granada engine.

Oh simple as that, ta.

I wondered if it was an acronym.
