But, I can't think of why it would be a problem, even on a stock ROM. Unless the valve has a sensor and looks for flow during startup/EGR use....?

the egr doesn't still "try" to work? i guess that's the normal case when it's off and closed anyway

I'm sure it opens, but that's fine. As far as I know, anyway.

If you pull all the parts, and disable in Tephra, then no it does not function at all. Am I missing something?

In Kalifornia, we can't remove the parts.

In that case, if you disable in tephra and install the block-off you should be good.

Eek. Yah. I'll stick with low WHP and the stock shortblock.

That's fine, as long as it lasts even close to as many miles as my last one.

yea i wudn be so secure haha. ive always changed big end bearings even when my engine was low power. its the weak point of the 4g motor esp if ur wet sump and its cheap insurance to just swap em annually

My last short block went 130k miles. I drive about 3k per year. I should be good for the life of the car.
If I had to start swapping bearings every year (at my per level) I'd ditch the hunk of junk and go with another platform.
