So today I'm at school and brought my intake manifold to clean out my egr ports, so I'm drilling and got all of the cleaned up then I look into the runners and relized that I drilled through the ports and into the runners, the holes are not that big but will this cause any problems?

... it might even prevent it from clogging up so fast since the hole is larger.

i m thinking to clean my egr ports later on, i know its better to take out the im to clean the ports, if i remove the im do i still have to drill out the ports? if i dont remove the im to clean the ports, where does all the dirty stuffs and cab cleaner goes when u spary down to the ports? will that clog up the engine?
how hard is it to remove the im? any1 have wirte up for that? i found write for clean the ports but not remove im.Last edited by Sleeper00; 06-05-2009, 02:10 PM.Comment

To the OP, those holes being oversized is a good thing like what was stated already!
^If you remove the IM, you'll still have to drill the service plugs, but you will do a much better job, not get shavings in the motor, and be able to do a full IM cleanout. IM removal is not the hardest thing, but it's involved. Maybe look through a Haynes manual or start looking @ the engine and what's around it.Comment

how to do a full im cleanout, like egr ports and what elses that needs to be clean while the im is out? thankxComment

Well first you need to remove the intake manifold from the vehicle. You can do it on the vehicle but I'd say 98% of the people here would tell you otherwise (myself included). By doing it on the car you run the risk of getting stuff in your IM that you don't want, that and it's a real pain trying to do a complete cleaning when it's on the vehicle.Originally posted by Sleeper00 View Post
Once you have the intake manifold off you are going to have to drill or knock out the EGR port plugs. There should be seven ports, six on top and one on the side (opposite of the EGR valve).
After you have all of the plugs removed (as well as the EGR valve), start the cleaning process.
And a lot of members (myself included) have been installing removable EGR plugs so we can easily clean it out whenever we want. Something you might want to think about as well.Comment

what u mean removable egr plugs? u can remove it later one instead of drill them out?? is it this?

Yes those are the regular EGR port plugs that are pressed in place. Those you have to either drill out or use a slide hammer to pull/knock them out, a real pain.
Here shows the ports tapped for the removable plugs.
And here are the plugs on my intake, I used larger ones for mine:

There are a lot of different types of plugs you can get that will work.Originally posted by Sleeper00 View Post
As for places to get them, I know there are some sellers on eBay. Just do a search for pipe plugs. You can also go to your local hardware store and find them. I got mine from Fastenal.
Installing them requires a bit of work because you need to tap the EGR port holes with a correct sized tap.
Here is the entire thread about this subject.Comment
