What year IMRC cover is this?

Why do you ask? I'm a fan of ditching the IMRC cover alot of the time :)

I have an 01+ Taurus WP cover to cover the camshaft and waterpump belt.

Edit: Do you have dex-cool in your car?
 
Nevermind.... compared some engine bay pics of 95 and 96-97 Contour's on Car Domain and answered my own question. (Sigh) it's a 95.... my hunt for a 96-97 IMRC cover continues....

I have a special mod idea and I need a 96-97 IMRC cover to pull it off.

It's insane how hard it is to find one! Ford does not make the pre-98 IMRC covers anymore so I'm forced to find one second hand. Have not had any success at pull your own part autowreckers in the Twin Cities all have been picked clean of V6 engines. What makes it worse is I have yet to find a local salvage yard who will sell me "just" the IMRC cover alone.


Yes, I do have dexcool in my engine. My 3.0 hybrid had it from day one.

If you come up for the meet, I am sure Chesney auto salvage in duluth has one. We can look if you want if you can't make it.
 
Meh.... Good luck finding one there... I have been there quite a few times and I have yet to see a car with the engine still in it. All the tours ive looked at there are gone. Even if they had one they would charge you an arm and a leg for it. I will look around for ya though. Calvary might have one...
 
Thanks guys, I'd appreciate it very much if you kept your eyes open for one. Unless something comes up, I'll see you in Duluth on the 17th.
