I put some high tack sealer on mine from permatex.. but not necessary..loctite will work fine too...... the ecm will delete the egr function automatically and shouldn't turn on the light... as for the smog stuff I can't remember..p.m joel5.0 he will give you the correct answer with no run around.. as for needing two more... two to block off ports at rear of head and to bolt up accessories on the front of the engine you may need to use on or two of the plugs to reduce bolt hole size to correct size for bolt on accessories
