I'll hopefully have some pics later on tonight, but keep the suggestions coming in the mean time.
Thanks!

OK. So the primary loom behind the EGR. When we replaced the head gasket, I found my harness was toasty there too. That area is a whole lot easier to work in if the EGR valve is out of the way. However, getting it out of the way is a bit of a PITA.
If you need to remove the EGR valve, a quick tip. Loosen the nuts about 3/4 of the distance off the stud, then double nut them and remove the studs. The EGR valve won't come off without the studs removed. Seriously... and yes that's whacked.
Good luck and keep us posted!
