Help with EGR delete
Posted: Thu Dec 07, 2017 12:53 pm
So I'm pretty close to cranking the engine, but just need to look over a few things.
First off, on the EGR delete, The two BSVs were damaged when the vacuum tubing was taken off. Apparently the plastic nipples, where the vacuum hoses went on were brittle as hell.
So I'm trying to brainstorm what I should do to seal the openings, as introducing air in the system can't be good.
Can I just unbolt them? And then find a matching bolt pitch and torque it down? Would I need some sort of washer-type gasket like the headers need?
I was also thinking maybe I could get them out, file down the tops to be perfectly cylindrical, then heatshrink and throw a vacuum cap on...
Ideas?
Thanks guys.
