GrandPrix34 Posted October 6, 2003 Report Share Posted October 6, 2003 dropped the damn bolt, now i cant run the car witout it. Wats the size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandPrix34 Posted October 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 update: I ended up using the bolt from the hold down tool i made, the M8 1.25 X 50mm and just used 2 pressure washers on the top and would you belive it worked like it came from the factory? :-D Gasket is ripped to shit though, could that be causing my high idle at 1.2K??

Bear Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Yeah, basically its a huge vaccum leak, try some high temp copper sealant on that gasket if you can't find a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandPrix34 Posted October 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 i have some gasket making paper, could i place it on the gasket paper and just remold/template-off the egr to make the gasket out of that paper?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 You can do that as long as your gasket material will hold up to the heat from exhaust gasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby1870 Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 You're better off just gettin a new EGR to plenum gasket, its like $2. I wouldnt make any gasket that has exhaust gasses around it out of paper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
