Thank you everyone for all your help, I have been monitoring this board for 3 years, first post.

I cleaned EGR valve and ports. When re-installing, the bolt hole on passenger side was stripped. The other bolt is currently securing the EGR valve, but what kinds of problems am I looking at if I can't fix it?

I have 98 Rodeo with a re-built engine. Didn't start watching this board until after the first engine blew. Typical bonehead reason for engine blowing.

If I use a self-tap bolt will I be able to remove the EGR valve again?thanks
