....and the other thing that Ford insist on doing and have been doing for 30+ years is using bolts that have a hex head that’s two or three sizes too small for the thread diameter - I.e. the water pump to block bolts on this are M8 but with a 10mm head where you would expect a 13mm, and they’re made from old washing machines so it’s very easy to round them off.
