alright well I have this head I bought for very cheap that I am cleaning up/rebuilding...

and I noticed theres a passageway between cyl 4 that goes to the intake manifold.

I will be using a b18a non-auto intake manifold, so is there a way I should block off that passageway?

this might sound crappy, but I have used that putty steel stuff before on a friend's 73 buick 350 when we did a 4-barrel carb swap, and blocked off 4 outputs from the exhaust towards the intake manifold, and it held, considering we did a really quick fix... could I incorporate that inside the head? or will the intake block it off okay?


edit:
heres a pic from ebay of the intake side where the egr hole is...

 

there is no egr valve for these motors... i believe that port is for coolant to the fitv or something along those lines

 

the 90-93 integras are the only model integras that had a egr valve. i hd a auto ls with a egr valve and had no problems with just blting on a 95 ls intake manifold(no egr valve). i didnt have to plug any holes.

well it would be fun to run coolant into my exhaust manifold .... NOT

great thanks! thats all I needed to know

 

i would like a pic of this supposed egr valve, as far as i know no integra came with an egr valve that is from the united states, ive owned and seen many da's all of which none had an egr valve

the auto 90-93 Das had egr valves.

 

i stand corrected, i wonder why they would put them on only autos and not the manuals?
