Duratec EGR tube
neilp1 - 17/11/11 at 07:38 PM

Anyone know what size/type thread the EGR tube is on a duratec so can get a plug for it?

I'll have a look a bit later but I don't think you need to blank it off if you've got the EGR valve removed (and blanked).

Any particular reason you want to 'plug' it?

You don't need to plug it but I had wanted to on mine. It's a funny thread size I believe so gave up after a while.

You fit a blanking plate to the rear of the head, then your inlet manifold blanks the inlet side and your exhaust manifold blanks that side, you can see the inlet side and the EGR Valve blanking plate below

My inlet manifold doesn't cover it!!

No, most don't as there is no need to cover it as it is blanked off by the egr plate on the back of the engine. The exhaust side however does need to be blanked off by the manifold.
