I am hoping they come with the new EGR valve.
I will call and check just in case.

My new EGR did not have a gasket. The gasket is part of
intake manifold gasket (its one piece) Basicaly, you take
the old EGR off (the gaskets usually sticks
to the EGR and not the head - makes it easier).
Hold the EGR to the new gasket and trace it on the new
"intake" gasket - and cut out what you need.

Oh - its heaps easier to replace the EGR when the tranny is
out ! (but its not required)

I fergot to do this, but the shop manual sez to use Loctite
or other sealeant on the bolts going into the head.
