    head plugs

    I am looking for some plugs to plug the egr in my heads. they are an odd size and not sure exactly what size they are. The heads are E7 or if somebody can tell me what size the threads are I can get some cap screws. but wanted to get them before I take it back apart. (I'm a dumb a** and forgot to plug front of heads when I rebuilt motor)

    The bolts for the accesory brackets go into the holes in the front.

    if you can get them out, the bolt holes in the back of the heads that hold on the egr tubes can be taken out (its a threaded spacer) and installed backwards to fill the holes...

    he put the heads on backwards, switched sides. Thats going to be a real trick and tight fit now mounting the accessories back by the firewall where the accessory holes are now. lol just kidding. the plugs are avail at summit or any performance shop for $15.00 and they give you 4 or you can cut the tube and crimp it shut, but i'd spend the $15.00 and buy the plugs but to each their own

    ...but, that's just a little bit ghetto. if you don't wanna break the bank on plugs, dig through that big 'ol coffee tin of nuts n bolts and find a pair to locktite in there
