ok i took out my egr valve and i have the block off on the exhaust with no problem. well the intake is a little different, i made a piece of metal to go over the hole and im getting some leaks. car sounds sweet, like its caming, but i know it shouldnt be idling that low. do i need a piece of gasket for the plate or what? let me know, thanks

Use a re-usable rubber freeze plug, you can get them at any parts store... can't remember the dia. But it has a nut on top to tighten and expand the plug to seal the hole. Worked perfect.

The guy i bought my car from did this... great idea.

ok i got the freeze plug and it tightened down but then started spinning, is that as tight as it needs to be? thanks

Take the freeze plug out of the EGR hole. Tighten the nut to expand the plug to the point where when you try to put it back in the EGR hole its a very tight fit and you almost have to "beat" it in. Then tighten the nut some more. It will expand some more w/o spinning on you.

i held the outside with pliars and tightened it a little more, would that be ok?

35 mm freeze plug, metal ones work too. Napa has them in stock.

I used a rubber expansion plug as well. Reef on that MF and it will seal.
