Fixing a Cracked Jeep XJ Exhaust Manifold

[@drummerjstone]

I have to do this next weekend. Wife's cherokee yesrerday developed a ticking sound ONLY when she gives it gas is it audible, vehicle acceleration not affected so its not a misfire, only code throwing is p0432 catalytic converter efficiency below threshold. Today it was a little louder. So yeah im assuming a crack in manifold or bad gasket. Either way not looking forward to it, a lot of things to remove and rusty 23 year old exhaust bolts. There's not a lot of room in there to get to the manifold bolts, hoping this video and others help
