Hello guys, like the tittle said: It is ok to temporary block off the EGR here at the actual valve or remove the valve and plug the pipe here? I want to plug it at the exhaust manifold but I can't remove the pipe there, I will keep trying but till I succeed I wonder if I can plug the EGR valve here.
Thanks a lot.

Yup, that's where people usually block off. I've done the coke can thing as well as made up a block off plate. Both worked just fine.

A nickel will fit exactly into the hole with a few taps of a hammer, if 'ya just gotta get rid of the EGR, and will allow you to re-activate it if it ever becomes necessary, or desired. Best thing about it is it only costs a nickel!

Thanks to all of you Gentlemen. I am fabbing a plate out of a stainless steel plate I have around here.
