I scraped out a LOT of carbon before I took the photos. But, notice the pitting and cavitation. Any thoughts?

Yup. The carbon/soot was nearly to the top of the opening. I scraped it all out.

The pitting and cavitation is weird. Must be because the EGR has been disabled for 100,000 miles and created turbulence at the joint. Or, I had a leak. Clearly, H&S doesn't cycle the EGR as some believe.


Actually, now that I think about it, I did have black spatter on my hood. Right above the EGR.

Evidently people who don't do a complete delete might have issues down the road, well a leak anyways, along with pressure and soot it wore it almost clean through.

I think that soot has got to be acidic.
