e6 Manifold question.

[skipsweb]

I have on my car the E6 manifold. It had a plug in the back of it, I am assuming for EGR, its close to the firewall. Anyways. Somehow mine blew out while I was driving. Does anyone happen to know the thread size so I can go get a plug and fill it back up and make some boost again. Thanks in advance

Does a cracked E6 have any value other than a doorstop? If not, it will be scrap....

[MikeFleming]

It's a high-nodular cast iron that can be welded. Depending on the crack.

Shouldn't you be banned for saying crack? :D

The arrow shows the location of the fissure. It doesn't appear to be large so not sure if it would even be an issue?

[MikeFleming]

If it's not leaking, it's good to go.

I had one welded there and it warped so bad I had to elongate the mounting holes. Heated it up before hand and everything (professional welder to boot)
