Re: Thread Size of EGR on a 292 Head

I see the crowd was slow to respond. I guess you could check the pitch of the EGR with another known metric bolt. I'm assuming you still have the old EGR valve handy. If you're confidant enough with that fit then gently try a bolt of the right size.

My guess right now is a metric pipe thread M18-1.5 ????
