Egr crossover at back of motor has a major coolant leak after doing a full rebuild. It actually sprays out when I rev the engine.

What would you reccomend is tbe best course of action to fix this?

Should I remove the engine mounts so I can drop the engine low enough tho get to it? Or is it possible to tighten these bolts another way.
hoping a quick re-tighten will solve it but I don’t know.

Anyone else delt with this? Do the bolts need any sealant on them or something? Thanks

 

I just did an EGR block off plate on my truck and I was able to get to all the bolts without pulling the motor or anything but ... I did have the carb.. intake and header off my motor when I did it. I just used the ultra grey permatex as recommended. I have limited tools and work space and it didnt seem as bad as some of the write ups I read made it out to be.

 

I got it.. one of the bolts was just a hair too loose. Only bolts I didn’t torque go figure.
Was able to get to it with a weird approach.
Now trying to get it timed right.

 

Dont forget to jump the terminals in the diagnostic port.
