E4OD Front Seal Blow-Out




Front seal blow-out on an E4OD may be caused by using a C-6 front seal instead of a genuine E4OD front seal. The E4OD seal has a different profile which results in more contact area to hold the seal in the bore, and the lip is positioned differently within the seal itself.
