alxns7 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) Ok so I've got an exhaust leak for a while now (clicking sound coming from the rear of the engine). I've unbolted most of the turbo aluminium pipes as well as the heat shield to look for any dark area, but no luck. Before I remove my turbos (still stock), could my leak come from the rear EGR plate? I mean, is there a small channel in the block that goes from the exhaust side to the EGR rear plate? Any help would be much appreciated.

alxns7 Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 OK well I'm pretty sure that my EGR cooler gasket is leaking (Plate at the rear of the cylinder head). Seen some nasty pictures from 7M-GTE heads. Curious thing it doesn't seem to happen too often on 2JZs. Does anyone know what's the best way to tilt the engine forward? I'd go with removing the fan, loosening engine mounts, unbolting tranny from crossmember, and then lift it up. Anything else I should know?
