The EGR tube that connect to front of the Intake Mani is really hot on my car. I noticed that it's rusted and the area near that tube is also hot. I am not seeing any crack so far.

I have 126k miles on my SPI. Should I change that tube before it breaks. I heard that Ford service bulletin advised to install some type of gasket for SPI. Does any one have link to that service bulletin, OR tips on installing EGR tube.

They are supposed to be really hot, it is connected to the Exhaust Manifold, and its gonna get rusty being that hot

I agree on what he said. The tube is a stainless steel I believe but I am not 100% sure. Usually the rust is only on the surface. You maybe able to get it off with a steel brush and paint them after wards using a high temp paint for a cheaper alternative.
