ST200
I am having terrible trouble finding head gaskets to fit mt Mondeo ST200 every set i have bought have been wrong, I have even been to the Main dealer and still they do not match my oil way layout. the engine has a Plaque with "YB" on it every one tells me look for LCBA or various other letter combinations but none are on my block.
Anybody know how many versions of the 2.5 V6 that ford fitted.
Trouble is the Engine was replaced back in 2003, and the garage that fitted the replacement said it was a direct replacement, but I now have my doubts.
I believe the engine may be from a Cougar as I have seen Gaskets advertised on ebay that look exactly the correct layout with an engine code LCBB but when I oredered a set they sent me an LCBA and they were the same as every other set that I have ordered and sent back.
Help!!!!!
Regards
Colin
