Pics of EGR test delete.

Here are some pics of the process, not complete, but a couple of hopefully helpful shots. The instructions are very good, follow them.

Coming out of the engine:



Had to knock this part loose with my brass hammer:



Copper disc and the egr in the vice as an anvil:



Heat going toward the disc:



The blueish color you want, about 25 seconds of on and off heat application (watch the heat, not the clock):



Using the egr as the mandrel to form the disc (Shot taken before heat treating):




And after forming. Note that it's shining back up with hammering:



Installed, be sure to let the sealant cure for a day:

It was tube that came with the kit. High temp copper, Permatex I think.

Can you elaborate on where to get the 'kit'? Sorry, maybe I'm coming late to the party, great procedure just would like to understand more about where to get what.

Nice work.

Having a vice sure makes that job a pleasure.
