Good work. I ended up swapping my C code for a J-Code military intake for this reason. I think the gasket kit I ordered was from a 1984 K30, and it had the correct blockages.
Awesome you made a video about this since there are none on TH-cam. Have a 1984 G20 6.2L that has the EGR. I will definitely use the plate trick and plug the vent tube but is that it? I saw you said you have to connect the circuits but isnt that only if you leave the EGR in to wire it open all the time? Would appreciate any advice!
looks good! the gaskets youre talking about like mahle MS15335 can be found in 1 ton chevy/gmc trucks. i believe all of those 6.2's were j codes (egr blocked at head). make up a 1 ton truck with a 6.2 at the parts store and youre good to go. j code intakes will flow a bit better too if you can get one. hit up a scrap yard for an intake from the same made up vehicle. if you ever have your heads off, fill the egr runners, and rid of the extra heat and turbulence. you can use the outside cylinders as a reference for the shape. we all know how these engines handle heat in the heads.........they dont! thanks for the vid!
I need to do this. I noticed when I didn't get the egr tube hooked back up after having the air cleaner off the cruise control stopped working. Do you have cruise control that works? Most everything is broke on my pickup, odd the cruise control is usually the first to go on old cars, but it's still working on mine.
Matthew Green try it the next time you decide to do a egr delete. And if any of your viewers read the comments. Well now they have two ways to gain a bit more power, and make their engines last longer.
@@matthewgreen8335 thanks for the info. The guy that owns this engine has been very particular about everything and up set when I told him there are no off the shelf kits
thinking of doing this to my -91 van 6.2L, Is there anything else i should know? is it necessary to tune the mixture afterwards? or i just slap on a plate to block the egr and that's it, no additional steps at all?
It looks like quite a bit of dirt got past the air cleaner and landed on the plate you made.An engine won't last long with that kind of dirt going through engine. =PC=
@@matthewgreen8335 Dirty environment. I get it. Still- something's wrong. Dirt is getting past your air cleaner. I hate to see your engine go bye-bye. 7 ounces of dirt finishes off an engine. Object of the game: see how long you can make it take for 7 ounces to go through your engine. Long time or...short time. But I found your video to be very helpful. I'm somewhat of a mechanic, but not real familiar with my own 1984 6.2L, which was changed out for a 1985 engine early on, before I owned it. Sweet as 2 pies. My expert mechanic friend, Don suggested we delete the EGR valve. Great! Let's do it! How do we do it? So, I watched your very helpful video. Discovered my 6.2 has no EGR valve. Got to thinking about it...I has to be...my Lovely, 1984 Chevy van...was made in Canada! That's why it still has good paint on it as well. Secondly, it's a "G30". A one ton. One pound too heavy GVW (8,900 pounds), one pound enough to have no requirement to go through "I&M" (emissions inspection). I'm free! I'm free! And, my G30, while not a dragster, gets 23 mpg on the highway, and it doesn't owe me a dime. Happy Pappy. That's me! Thanks for your video!
I try to find these videos, but I can't find them. But then I'll stumble onto them when I least expect it. Thank you for the video man
Very welcome sir!

Glad it worked! Thanks for watching!
The CUCV intake has better air flow also.

Sam Cluff your welcome and thanks for the tip!
Add a catch can from the crank case vent tube.. this helped me in my 94 GmC 6.5 turbo Diesel to slow down the slug build up.
cool truck still have it
Thanks.

Hey man, quick question.. the vacuum lines that come off the EGR valve, can I pull them out? Or should I just cap?
I usually pull em and cap off
Amigo tiene algún vídeo de como sincronizar el tiempo y la bomba de inyección de ese motor
What is the difference between the 6.2 diesel motors back in the 93 Silverado?
I jammed a freeze plug in the hole. Works great.
I would've used one too. But i couldn't find the right one at any of the parts stores.
Matthew Green I had a few laying around the garage. None were a tight fit, so I flared one out a bit and hammered it in.
@@ju99al041ife genius! Wish I'd had thought of that. I blame mental exhaustion...lol

@@ju99al041ife amen to that!
Did you do anything with the valve on the exhaust
Did you plug the vacuum
Yes
So if I got the intake gaskets with the plates over the little holes I don't need to do this correct?
I would do the plate anyway... gaskets have been known to fail.

@@n1uk214 just dress it up... and he won't know the difference 🤣
6.5l heads will fit on a 6.2l as well
That's very true. But we went with the 6.5 block because it had beefed up internals.
Hi i'm from France , you have closed the Egr Right ???
Yes. By putting the plate in i closed the egr circuit.
@@matthewgreen8335 nothing Else ? thanks Bro
So if you get the intake gasket you dont have to remove the EGR from where it sits? Or do both gasket, and removal?
Id prefer to do both. But you could leave the valve in place if you get the gasket.
thinking of doing this to my -91 van 6.2L, Is there anything else i should know? is it necessary to tune the mixture afterwards? or i just slap on a plate to block the egr and that's it, no additional steps at all?
No additional steps are necessary.
@@matthewgreen8335 thanks for the fast reply! additional question, will blocking the egr add exhaust smoke?
Maybe a tad bit. But the amount is hardly noticeable.
I've got a.90' van with 6.2
I should do the same..wish I could.add turbo.but no.room.
What was a code
Hi dose Chevy SB 302 307 327 350 Stock OEM Connecting Rod and Bearing 1968-2003 fit to 6.5
Not to my knowledge it don't. And besides that those components would never withstand the torque stress and compression that a diesel engine has.
I'm looking for a 6.5 l turbo diesel mechanic in the Akron Canton area of Ohio

Truck lives in an extremely dirty environment. Almost next to impossible to keep all the dirt out. Lol
