Im putting this onto a car that wont have the provisions for that tube. Is there some form of blockoff plate? if so, where can I get it?

Thanks
Dave

from my understanding you can just go buy an adjustable plug from the autoparts store, kinda like those expandable freeze plugs. hope that helps

I used 2 spark plug gapping tools, one to cover the hole, and the other with a bolt going through the other at an angle to hold it down. It was ghetto, but it worked well until I put the LS6 on.

If you are talking about the egr hole, there is a specific plug. You can get at the dealership. However, it will not show up in the parts dept. pic, it will be in a note down at the bottom.

You can also put a block off plate on it, but the freeze plug probably seals better.

Just do the freeze plug... Much cheaper and works like a charm. Doesn't look terrible either, it'll just be noticible to anybody that knows what to look for.

It is the 1 7/8" expandable freeze plug. It's cheap and seals better than just about everything else. That's what I used until the new intake. Good Luck.

is the hole actually 1 7/8"? So I can pound a 1 7/8" freeze plug in?

Dave

Don't pound a freeze plug in! You'll get plastic shavings in the intake. Get the 1 7/8" Expansion plug. It has a screw that will make the plug expand to fill the hole completely. It looks like a thick rubber gasket with a metel plate on each end.

ill take the intake off and blow out the shavings. or take off TB and vacuum it out. Is 1 7/8" a tight fit?
Dave

So, You'd rather go through the hassle of taking off your intake. Pound on a freeze plug which depth is shorter than an expantion plug and won't give you as good a seal and then blow out the shavings. Or, Use an expantion plug get a good seal from the thicker rubber and spend a total of 20 sec. to install it. ( 10 sec. of that opening up a pop).

Your choice. I know what I'd pick.

The EGR opening is smaller than the 1 7/8" plug. Just put the plug in and start tightening the bolt down. The rubber grommet will start to expanded out and seal the EGR opening.

yes, its all about appearance. taking the intake off will take me 5 minutes. Engine is out of car.

Mine took 25 sec. I opened a beer instead, and before installing the plug, raced my cousin in downing our beers . I lost, but still got the plug in within 25 sec.

The size is 1 3/8", not 1 7/8. Why screw with anything else when these are $3 and work so well.
