EGR valve Gasket?

[Cgillies86]

Today I was removing my EGR and installing a block off plate, and when I removed the EGR I noticed there was no gasket. Is there supposed to be an EGR gasket?

Is there supposed to be an EGR valve gasket? Yes or No?

I have one on my 2g, I even got it at the autoparts store. If you want one, don't hesitate to cut one out of some gasket material.

I did the same thing. I wouldn't trust a block off plate to seal properly against the intake manifold. Mine leaked quite a bit until i installed a home-made gasket.

Just use some high temp RTV sealant for a gasket. I've used it for EGR valves on plenty of different cars with no leaks whatsoever.

I have owned 3 1g talons in my day, and not one had a EGR gasket.
