Hi guys,
Long story short I blanked off my EGR holes a while ago and the blank on the exhaust manifold port was never quite 100%. Sealant failing, bolts snapping (that's more my fault than anything) etc. I have a replacement used manifold that I'm going to swap in and I'm intending to blank off the port using the original EGR pipe fitting cut down to its base and welded closed. My question is what should I be using as a gasket? I've tried using CRC 340 red but that didn't work terribly well as it would burn through during periods of sustained load ie hills. The original metal gasket wasn't effective either as it was a bit chewed up from me f**king the bolt holes in the original manifold.

Help appreciated.
