well found a crack in my oil pan on my svt today. I was wondering if there is a factory updated/baffled oil pan to fit it?
Will an Escape pan work? I heard it was baffled, will it fit the 2.5l and is the stock svt pickup going to workwith it?
 
I copy and pasted this from TeamFord's (Bill Jenkins) website. I searched for Oil Pan for the Ford Contour 2.5L.

oil pan, contour, mystique - 2.5l - 2.5L 95-00 $145.43 $108.20
Engine - Lubrication - oil pan
Includes: Drain Plug & Gasket, Baffle, Bolts And Pan Gasket.


This is the updated Oil Pan with the gasket built in and the Baffle. I just replaced mine with this one. Best deal if you buy it from Jenkins.
 
Thanks for the help guys. I got the pan off and it appears to be an updated one already. I should be able to weld it up.

So is this updated oil pan the same exact thing and part number as the escape 3.0L pan?!?! ...

i been looking in to getting a new pan and this seems kinda to good to be true. but if it is from bill then it must be true. might be calling him in a week or so
 
Just thought I'd post an update. I welded up my pan and no more leak! Poking around under my 98.5 CSVT I found a Ford reman label on the block with a 2003 build date, looks like a long block repalcement (no corrosion on the block or heads). The car has 80,000 miles on it and I don't think it's been on the road since 2004 or 2005, so the engine can't have very many miles on it :laugh: ! Anyway I believe that's why it has an updated pan on it.
