They finally made it. Intact I hope!
You are welcome.

Intact. Thank you

Thank you very much "brokencase" for the spare parts. I received them recently. https://sun9-78.userapi.com/impg/RjcessmLzeeo4VYJu-afHJwHobZLQMaqXaSjqA/vz5b24aHX8k.jpg?size=972x2160&quality=95&sign=5bcd1c742f4fdb785a88ba1f7ee847b2&type=album https://sun9-75.userapi.com/impg/aby...

What color valve covers would be preferable? Ultimately you paint them the color that you desire. Original valve covers were sort of a silver/titanium. More silver than titanium. With age and heat of the engine they took on a golden hue, which several owners have erroneously assumed was the origina...

I like the cast aluminum valve covers. Rare items. I don't like them painted blue but that is your personal choice. I hope you inspected cylinder heads for cracks, they have been known to crack if engine overheated. The blower power module can fail. Instructions for DIY repair are in the IMON email...

I don't know how the connecting rod got bent. I didn't even notice it right away, the engine was working pretty well. I took it apart to change the gaskets and clean it, but I found a bent connecting rod and an ellipse in another cylinder. Yes, the pistons are new, oversize (0.5 mm) from 2.8. Accord...

Cabin filter integration I bought a housing from a Ford Scorpio 2, where a cabin filter was provided at the factory. It had to be modified in order to combine the climate control element from Merkur with this housing. I also reviewed the remaining components and either replaced or repaired them. I a...

Vovan - There are several layers of things that go in that area. Blower assembly, heat shields, etc... I found the following images in my library that might help. . .

Screenshot_20241010-173039_Firefox.jpg I copied that post ^^ to underline that the poster wanted new (first choice) rounded coolant reservoir mounted near the shock tower which came to the U.S. only on the 1989 Merkur Scorpio. Only one of our three vendors had/has a new/unused such reservoir. Anyon...

Ed, Why are you being so nasty? Vovan, feel free to tell Ed to go wherever you wish:) I can think of several interesting places. It doesn't matter which replacement tank you install. Ed, The only reason there are 15 watchers on that OE tank is because they can't believe the asking price. There is n...

You're an idiot. Those reservoirs are OE design for the 1988 Merkur Scorpio. The reservoir available from Rapido is OE design for the 1989 Merkur Scorpio. Fewer 1988 Merkur Scorpios were sold than were 1989 Merkur Scorpios. Many people restoring vehicles often want only the replacement part specifi...

Any other arguments for a $400 tank?
