im not a fan of the bg kit...
customers under a powertrain warrenty SHOULD NOT have to pay someone labor hours to clean out a port that should be cleaned with egr valve failures, that fail under the powertrain warrenty, plus on top of that i find that it is really not all that hard to clean out the ports without the use of chemicals, and without intake removal.
i have a spray can product offered by a maryland local company called auto solutions that is similar to a carb cleaner but foams up and works wonders when cleaning the ports out
most every ford dealer should stock, the EGR valve gasket kit if they dont they should be able to have it to you within the day, not trying to hate on you jharvey my man, i wouldnt want you to think that, it seems like lately everytime you chime in, ill chime in and say something to the contrary
but ford doesnt recomend to reusre the gaskets on the old egr valve after you have cleaned it...but i have done it often without failure
the way ill clean a valve is, ford has a carb cleaner can...part pm-3. ill take that can, when im done with it, or transfer the fluid to another container, and cut it down so the egr valve sits perfectly in the cut piece of the can. ill then fill the cut off piece of can up till its close to the egr valve "weep holes"
then soak her for a few hours, when your done, take something similar to a tooth brush (sears sells a set of 3 for like a dollar) and brush any remaing crap off the valve
while your leting the valve soak, its good to get into the intake and try and nock all the crap that has built up in your EGR ports, if they are clogged up, alot of times they arent, but use your better judgement, and a light to find out.
thats pretty much how it goes down, if you have any questions let me know
