Re: where can I find a EGR block off kit?
check out www.mycamaroz28.homestead.com. They have them very inexpensive at shipped pricing w/directions.
They are also ALL T6061 billet grade aluminum, not lower quality higher ductile less expensive plate alloys. This is especially important as the small egr tube plate is only affixed by one bolt. (This is the plate that there is no gasket available.) The kit on e-bay is not meant for all headers made for LT1 headers, some use a different small sized plate...then have a transition tube that leads to the smaller plate...if you want to remove all the extra stuff, a different 3 plate kit should be used...I know, I went through that already.
Better deal then e-bay.
Gaskets aren't necessary, actually, there is NO gasket manufactured for the 3rd header egr tube plate from GM, RTV must be used. If one is attempts to make one from gasket material, it will NOT seal correctly with one bolt hole, RTV is a better sealant as expansion and contraction of the aluminum from heat will leak with a gasket.
It's unfortunite that the one plate only is affixed by one hole on SOME of the headers...You HAVE to use RTV sealant on the smaller plate. Using RTV for the other plates can be used also OR just reuse the stock metallic gaskets.
I've known the one guy steve at SJM for years and I know they have been making them for eons, they are also available through various vendors whom are F-body sponsers from the boards.
maybe he'll chime in and expain it better...lol
