@ 2deerwhistlers, I understood the egr cooler cracking issue to be caused by significantly increased EGTs seen after major mods were applied to increase hp/tq. My understanding was that to apply a block to the EGR valve side on a stock application would not be hazardous to the cooler. Of course I haven't been on this board but a few weeks now so if I'm wrong, please let me know. With that said, does anyone have the number of failed coolers on our cars? Is it one, ten, fifty?
After saying that, my plan today is to fabricate a block off plate and if time permits, I'll install it. I do believe that its a good idea to take the cooler out of the equation but for short term stock applications a block off plate at the valve end will work. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
