Is there a way to remove the EGR system so that there is not valve
cover gasses going into the intake. Can I simply remove the tubes from
the valve cover and plug the holes as long as there is a breather on
the valve cover?

You could just run the tube from the front into a container other than
the air filter box.  I have seen and heard of that working fine for a
while.  You are going to get some smoke and fumes though.  An old chunk
of air filter on the top of the container would likely help some.

You can close up the system or you will start blowing seals and leak oil
all over the place.

Just having a breather on top will get 'really' messy 'really' fast.

Have you checked #6 for spark?  Sometimes a bad wire and no spark will
allow gunk to build up on the valves which can cause massive blow by
like you describe.  Get it sparking again for a bit, then do a decarbon
spray job and it might just come back to life.

Good luck.

I took the oil cap off when it was running and when I hit the gas smoke
shoots out of the valve cover. And how does one do a decarbon spray
job?

Hi Jeremy,
    The Exhaust Gases Recycle valve is between the exhaust manifold and
intake, not valve cover. I just plug inside the vacuum hose controlling
it's diaphragm. I must be on there to pass SMOG tests, but it doesn't
have to work: http://www.billhughes.com/smog.jpg
