EGR tube location

Never posted to a forum before
I feel like a real dumbaxx asking this but here goes...

My kid and I took the head off his 08 civic 1.8L for a blown head gasket before I went on vacation. After being gone a month and receiving the head back from the machine shop we installed the head.
Here's the dumbaXX part. For the life of me I can't figure out where the EGR tube goes. (thats what ebay calls it) It's about 4 inches long, round at one end and ovel at the other with a slight bend.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: EGR tube location

That needed to be bolted on before the intake manifold went on.

Re: EGR tube location

Luckely I hadn't bolted up the intake.
Just installed the tube.
I just put you on the top of my "new best buddy list"


Thanks
