Screw that.....just had that crap done a couple of years ago. Got an H&S unit on it now after the EGR delete set on the lowest setting....more than I need for daily driving.

if your head gasket went soon after you did that EGR delete i can tell you exactly why... Learned some interesting things from the powerstroke performance guys in what ford used the EGR actually for.

Headgaskets were fine....had to get the engine pulled when the bedplate gasket needed fixing....so it was done along with the EGR delete as a preventative measure.

It was fairly cheap to do when the engine was out, the H&S was more for getting rid of the CEL.

It's engine removal time to replace the gasket.

More power to him.... I'd rather pay to have it pulled...way easier for the guy to work on.
