How This Clamp Works

This Dorman exhaust manifold repair clamp is built to create a seal at the manifold-to-cylinder-head interface when an exhaust manifold bolt breaks. Instead of removing the cylinder head to extract the damaged fastener, the clamp secures the manifold in place and restores the sealing surface. Part number 917-107 is used on a wide range of GM trucks, SUVs, and performance models, including Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, and Cadillac Escalade applications.

Common Problems It Addresses

• Exhaust leak caused by a broken manifold bolt or stud
• Ticking or puffing noise from the exhaust manifold area
• Warped or loose manifold sealing at the cylinder head
• Time-consuming cylinder head removal for fastener repair
• Failed repair attempts on Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 exhaust manifolds
