Is that silver the gasket or is that like that b/c the valve is new?
I don't see how the valve could look like this after having seen the image you posted, but, hey..
I'm guessing this is a egr valve for a different model vehicle...so are those holes to the left and right the same holes that you would find in your pic that I was mentioning about the bolts....just a different setup?
Thanks, I know I'm spamming my own topic here, but I've always wanted to learn about vehicles, unfortunately, the chance I'm getting is to fix-up my own vehocles, but I guess that's how many of us learn, especially when we can't afford to pay out of the ass.
So

for the help
