Some seals simply have a looser fitting and those seals are now showing problems, since they can transmit less heat and can move more easily.

Got my first firecracker today being on FI. But I was 10k on NA before.
I am sure this just helped the failure accelerate.
Also interesting to note it was also the longest drive I have done since installing FI an 1 hour and 15 minutes.
