You could go back to your recent threads or your content etc. to pick back up and give an update with a reply instead of starting a new thread as it would be easier for those of us who dont know what you have going on to understand what you are talking about, however do as you please, just a friendly heads up https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/engine-ping-egr-spark-plugs.1120941/ https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum...e-to-have-an-egr.1119861/page-2#post-12714940
