-That's why they put it there. Remember the bean counters at Ford wouldn't spend $0.00001 without a reason.

If you're referring to the oil pump, it's the oil pump gasket.

It's a good thing those fellas ain't mechanics. Don't use just silicone. When you bolt the pump on, the silicone can squeeze out and block the oil system.

That gasket comes in Engine overhaul sets and with oil pumps. They can get them if they try.
