tommyboy Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I'm in the process of changing out my stock intake to a non EGR N42 intake. Well, there is a pipe running from the side of my exhaust manifold to where the bottom of the EGR was. I got a 1/2 NPT pipe plug to plug the hole, but I was wondering if I need to seal the threads with some sort of exhaust sealer, or maybe a copper washer or something. I know that standard thread sealant won't cut it because of the heat, so if you guys could throw some ideas my way, I'd REALLY appreciate it. Thankx!!!

Tombarace14 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Everytime ive done one I either brazed around it or welded it depending on what the plug was made of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 The plug I got is solid brass. I don't wanna weld it just in case, for some reason, I have to put my old intake manifold back on. What'd you braze it with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
