I read on here on a ton of threads that all "internal lubricated parts" were covered. now when i was getting my lift bolts checked/replaced they called me and told me the extended warranty would not cover it because its a bolt. so 860$ out of my pocket... Is this true or am I just totally screwed???

it's kind of risky to drill it out by yourself...can't really give you a good answer...

if they are broken... Grab a friend and get to work.. alllll day .. like my last saturday.. see below lol

After taking half my fuckign engine apart we got the seared part of the bolt outta the rocker shaft. was a nightmare. but saved me the 3k my dealership told me it would cost.

to hell with dealerships, they might sell a good car, but they have you by the balls when you need it fixed.

VVTL-i that's for GTS..VVT-i for GT..now GT don't have the L in their vvt..so they don't have L=Lift...in GTS Lift kick in at 6k rpm...that mean more power, that's y GTS have 180hp and GT have 140..stock..so if it's broke then don't get that power after 6krpm..which i think one of mine is broken.. cry
