I'm with Tom on this. When I was keeping my '81 EGR system going, I never had the EGR pipe in the engine compartment too hot to hold. I could feel it go from cool to warm when the engine was held at mid-rpm, but never hot.

Then about rebuild time the EGR "filter" rusted out. Standard advice here in Boulder was to just seal it off and abandon the EGR system. This was done on mine by pinching the tube just below the EGR filter. That was 3+ years ago. My bus still passes emissions, with no EGR and an empty cat.
