The manifold-side where EGR pipe mounts is stripped at one mounting point. The PO had placed a nut on top of the manifold with a makeshift stud and a nut below to affix the EGR down pipe.
I know the proper thing to do would be to pull the manifold and use a timesert, but the rats nest of vacuum lines in this smogged truck is daunting.
Is what the PO did that criminal? Dare I commit the sins of the PO? I really don’t want to pull the whole thing. Any suggestions appreciated.
