Default EGR Valve Pipe Help

Anyone know what part # the EGR valve pipe nut(s) are? It's part #14 in this pic http://shbox.com/ci/AIR.jpg

If not, does anyone know the size of the nut?


The "mechanic" forgot to connect the egr pipe to the intake after he put the intake back on... So now I need to buy a new EGR valve pipe gasket and the 2 nuts. Anyone know if autozone/advance/napa sells them? I searched on their online stores and got no results. Guess I'll have to order somewhere online and wait for shipping...woohoo.

Thanks in advance!

yeah, it doesnt look too bad. Im glad I found out it was disconnected. Before I parked the car, I had been running around for a week or so with it disconnected.

It's currently parked because a rocker arm stud backed out, 2 roller rockers came loose and one of the pushrods bent into a question mark haha....oh and I have an exhaust at the long tubes I installed! The leak might not be as bad as I thought considering the egr leak at the back of the intake...who knows. I just can't wait to get everything back together and start driving my car again.
