1979 SC Chewed a Valve - Total Rebuild

Couldn't get a ball bearing nor the fitting off the EGR hard pipe without cutting it.
For now, I've put a small plate across the end of the EGR pipe, blocking the hole. So it is a dead end. It is a pain to thread it below around the exhaust/heat exchangers, but at least it isn't up in the airbox region.

Engine is in! Spent longer than I'd like figuring out the EGR bracket. Forgot to put that little rubber clip on the other bracket, but I can reach it now so I can fix it.

Darkness has fallen, mount bolts are torqued. Time for dinner. Might hook stuff up after dinner, but not going to do a startup until I get some sleep and can re-check stuff in the morning.
