Anyone ever try the MAHLE JV604 rear main seal... and if so, would you care to comment on the quality or the lack thereof?

It looks a little odd in certain pictures but I was thinking I'd give it a try.

(I've never used anything but the OE replacement black Fel Pro personally)

TIA
Rich

Is this the 2-piece Viton (orange) replacement seal like I've been getting from various vendors for years?

No, it's just another plain old black seal but it looks slightly different if I can believe the online pix.

Mahle might make their own rear main seal. They own Clevite so they might have the ability to make main seals but I really don't know. If they aren't making it themselves then it is most likely a repackaged seal. The pictures on-line rarely are correct.

Fast Fish has a one piece seal for big block Mopar engines. I don't know the story on it. I assume he gets them from the same place that makes one piece seals for various Ford engines.

Well, I think I will get a couple and find out. It's probably the same black fel pro and fel pro probably doesn't actually make that either LOL.
I don't have anything high-performance enough to require an orange seal.
