The TR6 (74-76 US spec models) came with a EGR valve mounted on the
right side of the cylinder head. The valve was mounted by a 3/4 UNF
thread pipe at its bottom which was screwed into a matching opening in
the head. I have removed the valve and wish to plug (ie. seal) the hole.
I have a 3/4 UNF bolt which I will need to cut to size so that it is not
too long. That's no problem. But what I am unsure of is how to make a
proper seal. I have tried to find a copper washer but all the local
hardware places don't stock a copper washer large enough for a 3/4 inch
bolt (it is one huge bolt - takes a 1-1/4" wrench!). I have considered
using the same compound which is used on exhaust systems to make the
seal but am looking for other options from the list.
Anyone have suggestions?
