It's crazy how on modern cars, it's easier to pull the motor right out of the front! But more often than not, it really is!
Just as an aside, do you have a recovery system for the freon? Or did you bleed it "the old fashioned way"
? Curious is all.

? Curious is all.It was already bled for us when we got it. Broken hose. Had it been charged I would have handled that prior. Opted to pull it out the front since we needed to pull the bumper cover anyway to replace the fogged up headlights.It's crazy how on modern cars, it's easier to pull the motor right out of the front!

Fusion cyl head temperature sensor is in the head between cylinders 2-3 and the Mazda5 one is in the external housing.

The Fusion sensor is too tall and interferes with the valve cover so it was either remove and replace with a plug or shorten the sensor. I chose to shorten it Cut off the plastic and sealed it with some epoxy for good measure.

Part number for the VVT seal for the valve cover.

Found damage to the oil pan and was unable to find a good used one locally so had to order a used one off eBay. AutoZone would sell me Dorman one for $700! Lol, no.

Progress. The replacement oil pan arrived and it's in, sitting on its new mounts.

Now to hook everything up. The $25 Lisle timing tool set worked perfectly. I did replace the crankshaft bolt with a new Ford part ($12 from eBay) but reused the diamond washer (the 2015 Fusion factory repair manual states it can be reused if in good condition).
