Check YouTube. They make brackets that can be bolted on to help clamp exhaust manifold tight to head. The brackets bolt to existing holes that are currently unused on the engine block. I have not used this solution but may work. Also a sound like tapping is sometimes reported when the exhaust manifold bolt(s) break.
