All you needs do with the EGR plate is look at it ~ if you see _any_ black around the edges, it's leaking .
Unless you're Hot Rodding your engine, a pyrometer isn't much use .
I'd get a good used stud or anything else before new, the original stuff was top notch .

Well thank you. I'm sure I will figure out the p/n's by searching through a parts store's catalog, maybe this site's My EGR plate seems to be holding up. There is no black around the edges. IIRC, I put some kind of copper-based sealant on it while installing it. The person who sold it to me sent me a little tube of it. Yes I remember my mechanic told me that the original studs are good. I'm only afraid of them going 'in' to the head and leaving few threads exposed to lock a nut onto.
