sure it wasn't egr? egt?
i'd assume the E is exhaust... or maybe the G is gas...
where is this thang located in the engine?

EDIT: are you sure he knew about rotaries? i was once informed by a mechanic (who was my friend.,.. and working with me) that i had a bad piston ring.

EKG valve is inside the difibrilator used to jump-start heart attack patients, lol...

If he actually said "EKG", find another mechanic

Just in case you aren't joking (or being sarcastic), I WAS...

The "defibs", as we call them, now used on aircraft, have a built-in EKG-type sensor that will prevent anyone using them from shocking the **** out of the "patient" if it detects a heartbeat. Murphy-proof, so to speak.

Hence, my "EKG valve" jist...
