Better picture angle for you .Even though still an ecore, E suffix gone from this application. Baseplate thread boss area looks odd. Perhaps camera angle. Be interesting to see if other ACDelco applications follow suit.
Ahh much better, now I can tell what's going on. Though some might consider it a nitpick, I will say that type protruding thread boss, not my favorite baseplate design. Have to see if other applications follow. So much for original ecore design idea of making installation easier. Thanks for follow up pics.
What offset are you referring to?I wonder if the offset is so that they can use smaller media from another filter to cut costs?
