I did the clamp method and that little ceramic washer broke, leaving a small exhaust leak at that spot. If you can get to it, I would recomend the drill and tap method.

I would go with drilling and tapping the manifold. There has been alot of post on here about it. It just comes down to you on whatever you feel comfortable in doing. If you tap the manifold, go slow and keep it straight. Good luck

Yeah tapping the manifold sounds a lot worse than it really is, the metal is really not that hard so it's pretty easy to tap. Dieselmanor directions are very good follow them and you will have no problems. Good Luck
