    It's Ford excellence in engineering it allows oil to leak from the pan as you're driving and the wind helps disperse it evenly across the frame preventing it from rusting😅

It should be borderline illegal what this industry is doing to us as buyers and you as mechanics and techs. Parts supply is just crap now. Plus, then they want you to cut time on instill. Yes, nothing lates forever, but at 40 60 80 or even 100,000 dollar rides that are 3to5yrs old should not need a motor pulled for a 10cent seal or stupid a** plastic.That should not be inside of a motor anyway. 30k water pumps are exploding and 30k oil pumps are exploding timing chains snapping phasers falling😅 Lifters failing goes on and on.
