Solved broken EGR valve
My mechanic told me that my EGR valve on my 91Z 305 (TPI) had a pinhole leak.
After detaching the plenum and hoses and exposing the valve I tried to get a ratchet with a 3/8" socket on it. The valve top doesn't give enough clearance from the base to use a ratchet. Not enough leverage with a box-end 3/8 wrench...
A Saws-all truly is a multi-purpose tool.
Good thing O'Reilly didn't ask for the core.
