disconnected egr cause ticking noise? Just did the head gaskets and the car is runing great but there is a annoying ticking coming from drivers side of the engine... When i to the egr tube off i broke the tube that goes to the egr itself and i have not gotten around to replacing it so the two nipples (the one on the egr and the one on the intake manifold ) arer open and not blocked off, would that cause a tciking noise?

If you just did header gaskets and you are hearing a ticking noise, odds are good that one of them is leaking. I would try to feel along the headers, just as you start it up cold, to feel for puffing air anywhere along the header flanges.

There is nothing wrong with removing the little vacuum line from the egr, but the port on the intake manifold (nipple) needs to be capped off or it will cause a vacuum leak.
