my egr delete j pipe orings give me trouble and i replaced but broke a bolt, now i think that big donut oring is leaking, i was reading you can put a 3/4 freeze plug in to eliminate any coolant into the intake, where does the freeze plug go,front cover or intake and does coolant still pass thru the j pipe?

 

I believe that J-pipe is fed from the oil cooler. Blocking that flow would block flow through the oil cooler... not a very good idea, unless you re-route it.

 

so,the water coming out at the j pipe is the oil cooler return? Can i just run a hose from where the short orange hose now to maybe a heater hose as a new return for the oil cooler?

 

Drill the bolt out and retap??? Just do it the right way man, we have all broken bolts and have all paid when drilling and retapping them. Helicoil works wonders.....

 

thanks for all your insight man.

 

The plug goes into the front cover. You can then run the oil cooler outlet to a "T" in the heater return line. By using 5/8 or 3/4" hose you will have higher flow through the cooler. I made a fitting that came straight out of the cooler using a hydraulic fitting and run to the degas tank where I made a bulkhead type fitting to return flow, but using the heater return is easier and just as effective. You also have the slight advantage of a cooler intake manifold.

 

Thank you sir, thats info i was looking for. Just got back from my local ih parts counter and picked up that donut oring just in case i go that route, cost 5.95, local ford wanted me to buy some sorta kit it came in.
