I am taking my time on my 4th H22 build. I always block the EGR, but that still lets heat into the manifold from the head to the block plate.
So I'm looking at this head while I'm porting it, and the LED in my brain goes off again. Why don't I get someone who can weld aluminum to weld shut the egr port from the outside of the head? That will disable the system AND block all but radiant heat transfer to the manifold. I can easily grind the weld down flat before I put the intake manifold back on.
Has anyone else seen or thought of this, because it seems like it should've been obvious to someone before me. What problems may come with this solution? Is the heat from welding within tolerances for the head?
Any comments and especially knowledge is appreciated, guys.
