Q & A: De-toxing

Mr. Twist,

I recently purchased a copy of your excellent Technical Manual and
enjoyed
reading the many informative articles. I have a question concerning the
article
on "De-Toxing" the MGB engine. I have been cautioned by an experienced
mechanic
that blanking of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve could possibly result
in
overheating problems in some parts of an engine. I was wondering if you
have
ever experienced this problem in a de-toxed MGB engine?

Also, as part of a complete engine and transmission overhaul that I
am
engaged in, I have purchased a Transmission / Overdrive unit from MG Cosas
in
Texas. My intention is to salvage a few needed internal transmission / OD
parts
that are no longer in production or available from Moss Motors. I would
like to
offer the remaining parts to someone who could put them to use, and I was
wondering if you might have a need for them at University Motors?

Thanks for your time and consideration.
