The damn egr delete plate broke off today. So I limped home at below 2 grand. I probly drove about 4 miles do you think I did damage to the valves?

It looks like about a golf ball sized hole maybe an inch and half from the head.

That is why I hate emission fittings on LTs.

Wow, not sure if it would damage the valves, but what kind of LT's are these?

i agree with 01redss, when my buddy got his fleabay headers, pretty nice by the way , we cut the egr off and welded a patch over it, im not a fan of egr crap on lts anyway lol,i have seen this happen more than once .as someone asked what kind are they .

My hedman headers that came on my car had a crack developing at the air pump fitting. Ended up deleting the fittings and patched the header with thin sheet metal. A buddy just bought some ebay headers and we sliced the emission fittings off before installing them. No sense in getting burned twice. I currently have LPP Stainless headers and they are emissions free which is nice.

Doubtful you hurt anything, IIRC there was a thread on here where a couple guys had messed around and ran an engine with no manifolds/headers.

I think there pacesetters but I'm not sure they came with the car.

You're probably fine but if it worries you that much do a compression test. A warped valve will show up pretty quickly

I think valves getting burned due to exhaust leaks or too short of exhaust piping is a thing of the past. I haven't even heard about that in so many years I actually forgot about it.

I wouldn't worry about it, patch it and go on. But if it burned a valve it would run like **** and misfire.

both my brother and a good friend had this happen to them, both had pacesetters, both just had a piece welded over the holes and both were fine, no bad valves from this. id say you are ok
