Title: 2 litre d.o.h.c. exhaust manifold.
Post by jabbacar on Feb 17^th, 2008, 12:33pm

High to all, I have a 2 litre dohc scorpio on a n plate,
The exhaust manifold has a hairline crack about 2 "long near to the no.3 exhaust port,
Can I get away with sealing the crack with gun gum or am I looking for a replacement,
As the Mondeo shares the same engine,does it have the same exhaust manifold?
your thoughts are welcome, thanks kev.

Sorry, gun gum won't fix it. It will either have to be replaced or welded :)

Also, the Mondeo doesn't share the same engine. The Scorp has the RS2000 engine & the Mondeo the Zetec engine, so the manifolds will be different. The 2.3 Scorp exhaust manifold is the same though :)

Good luck ;)

Thanks for your reply johnnycab,
Have taken note of your comments,first job will be to remove manifold and hunt down someone with the ability to weld cast iron,I use mig but its not suitable for cast jobs.
will keep you posted, thanks, kev.

You MIGHT get away with something like Pyruma fire cement as a temporary fix - I used this a long time ago on another car with a cracked exhaust manifold - repair held out till I could get another manifold.
