any cheap ass way to do EGR block off plates?

[phoenix6]

Like getting parts from somewhere and ghetto rigging some sorta block off plates for my EGR. My heads off and I really dont wanna hassle putting it back on, and dont wanna spend $35 on 2 little pieces of metal.

I made my own out of aluminum bar stock.

What the advantage of this?

One plug, one bolt, and the right taps, and your there man. (I already had the taps and dies, so no big deal for me.)

The plug was cheap, but the bolt was about 6.00 IIRC. (Plug was like .80 cents.)

Here is a photo of the backside of my head. I just plugged the EGR port on the upper intake manifold, and it's done.

What? If you machine your own plates its being cheap.....:icon_conf
How do you think products are made?......by little supra faries that have more skills than people........

Now don't get me wrong, I'm NOT saying geto rig it, but look at pics of my bay and say I "cheaped out" by doing things myself.

EDIT: Nice ninga edit s383mmber1........
EDIT 2: Adjuster shows the best way to do it.

I just meant some type of plate to block it, dont you have to plug the side on the head as well? or just the manifold side of it?

 

[jimi87-t]

You need to block off the hole from the exhaust and the one in the intake mani (if doing like Adjuster). If you keep the cooler on you need to plug the hole in the intake mani and the hole in the lower intake runner flange.

Oh, and there is no real advantage from it, I did it because of my FFIM.

I dont want it in there, its just in the way with this whole head job, seriously sucks, I just wanna toss it.
