Dorman Exhaust Manifold Clamp Repair Kit 917-107 for Select GM/Isuzu Front-Right (No EGR) — OE FIX, Includes Fasteners

Dorman 917-107 is a ready-to-install exhaust manifold clamp repair kit that seals a broken exhaust stud without removing the cylinder head.

If an exhaust manifold stud breaks on certain General Motors or Isuzu engines, traditional repairs often mean hours of labor or costly cylinder head removal. The Dorman 917-107 OE FIX clamp provides a targeted solution: it clamps and seals the manifold at the fastener location so you can restore exhaust integrity quickly and with far less disassembly. The kit contains the clamp and the necessary fasteners and is engineered for specific front-right (no EGR) or rear-left manifold locations depending on the vehicle.

How does this clamp save time compared with a full stud extraction?

Instead of drilling, tapping, or pressing out a broken exhaust stud from the head, the Dorman clamp fits over the manifold opening and establishes a tight seal. That eliminates the need to remove the cylinder head in many cases, dramatically reducing labor time and shop cost.

• Installs externally—no head removal required for compatible applications.
• Includes fasteners so you don’t hunt for hardware.
• Specifically shaped to match the manifold location for a secure fit.

Which vehicles and manifold locations are compatible with this part?

The clamp is designed for select GM and Isuzu models and fits specific manifold ports: typically the front-right location when the vehicle has no EGR valve, or the rear-left manifold port on other engines. Compatibility varies by year, engine, and trim—always confirm fit using vehicle details.

• Engineered for certain GM and Isuzu applications—check the garage tool for exact fit.
• Intended for front-right (no EGR) or rear-left manifold ports depending on model.
• Not a universal clamp; verify vehicle year, make, model, and engine before purchase.

What does the kit include and how durable is the repair?

The Dorman OE FIX kit ships complete with the specially formed clamp and the fasteners required for installation. The clamp provides a reliable mechanical seal that restores exhaust routing and prevents leaks when installed per instructions.

• Complete kit: clamp plus matching bolts and hardware.
• Metal construction designed to withstand typical exhaust temperatures and vibration.
• Backed by Dorman engineering and U.S.-based product support for quality assurance.

Can I install this clamp myself, or should a shop handle it?

Many mechanically inclined DIYers can install the clamp with hand tools and basic mechanical skills, since it avoids complex head work. However, if the manifold or surrounding components are corroded, or if access is tight, a professional installation may be faster and ensure a proper seal.

• Simple hand tools often suffice for straightforward installations.
• Seek a professional if bolts are seized, or manifold damage exists.
• Always follow vehicle-specific repair guidance and torque specs.

Who is this for? The Dorman 917-107 Exhaust Manifold Clamp Repair Kit is aimed at owners and technicians working on compatible GM and Isuzu vehicles who want a cost- and time-efficient alternative to stud extraction or cylinder head removal. It’s ideal for repair shops, fleet maintenance, and experienced DIYers who need a dependable fix for a broken manifold fastener without extensive engine disassembly. Before buying, use the vehicle garage tool to confirm this clamp fits your exact year, make, model, and engine configuration.
