I guess it's more worthwhile for turbocharged engines to remove it than NA because of the loss of exhaust through the EGR at high rpms; ie more exhaust flow = more boost. I'm ok with it lowering engine temps. These engines are too damn hot as it is. I have to wait at least 2 hours before working on it unless I point an industrial fan at it on full speed for 20 minutes. By the way, here's some fun facts since you mentioned the products of combustion: the best performing liquid rocket fuel creates pure water, and the most common solid rocket fuel is aluminum and tire rubber blended together. I inb4'd! Your statement is invalid!

Relocating them is a good idea I thought about it but did not, though with the ceramic coating on the intake I suspect they wont get quite as hot. As to the header tube going up to the egr I plugged it at the top, I too was unable to get the tube out of the header. I used some high temp rtv and a block plate, bolt and nut on the flange of the tube. If I take the engine out, or at least the header i will try a flare nut wrench on it, seems that might be the easiest, oh and torching it may help too. |

Or I was also thinking I could grid the tube off at the nut, and then drill and tap the hole and still put a bolt in it.

Re: EGR
So icing, should I still go ahead with trying the seafoam in there?

Re: EGR
Go ahead and try it if you feel comfortable doing so. I didn't have any seafoam at home like I thought, so I couldn't try it on mine, sorry.

Re: EGR
Bringing this old thread from the archives!
did anyone try sucking in Seafoam through the vac hose that is connected to the "P" nipple of the intake manifold as suggested earlier in this thread? There might be not enough vacuum to suck in Seafoam was something that was mentioned. Thanks.
