Lol, sounds like you need to do the "take off the header and weld the hole shut" mod.

Yeah, I understood what you're asking. I've done the nickel mod. But if you've rounded off the nut and it's rusted in there, you're going to have a real hell of a time doing anything. I recommend taking the header off and welding it shut.

Actually I recommend spending $75 and getting an eBay header... lol

Also, I would just remove ALL the egr lines and stuff off the motor while you're in there. Gets rid of that pipe behind the head all together. Get this too:

Instead of buying that block off plate, I just did the nickel on both sides back when I had the stock KA.

I guess I like removing things... lol. Nickel on both side works too.

$10 saves you from having to fight rusty old things quite so much though.

If I could do it again, I would do the plate.
