No appreciable power gain at 6200 = worn lift bolts.

It's a do-it-yourselfer if you are so inclined...1 hour job and fairly easy with right tools - ratchet, socket extension and swivel joint, 10mm socket, 5mm allen wrench for plastics. To have a garage do it, s/b <1 hour charge, basically no more difficult than changing valve cover gasket. wink

yeah what he said^^^^ I did mines myself and it took about 2 hours because I took my time and I was interested on how my motor looked like on the inside spineyes But if you have a actually "broken" lift bolt in your motor then your screwed because from I heard on previous stories on here that it costs a grip on money.

I have close to 85,000 miles on my GTS and lift is as strong as it's always been. I'm going to replace them soon. Just like any other maintenance on my car. I believe it's time and I don't believe the bolts have to be replaced every 15,000-30,000 miles or whatever. If you think they do then maybe you should worry about other things on your engine if you are pushing it that hard all the time.
I beat on my car and my lift is still golden and brings a smile to my face.
Remember I drive a GTS and beat on it probably before most here. So I have an idea how others could break the bolts, wear out the clutch prematurely, blow engines, bent valves, blown transmissions, bad synchros, etc. It's mainly due to driver error, inexperience, and neglect and over abuse over time.
You drive hard expext to pay to get it fixed and don't blame Toyota and their engineers. Just pray you are still under warranty.

if its broken, go to ace hardware or something like that and ask for "easy-out" Its like a reverse screw you drill into the broken bolt. works like a charm for me.

the general consensus is to check them every 10-15K...it takes only 15 min to open up the engine cover and check them...plus with the new style bolts you would't have a problem of having the broken part lodged in there.

wow if you search this has been gon eove rto death. also if you check the install section of the site theres a nice pictorial on how to do it yourself.

1) wearing is not the problem breaking is. theres no garaunteed time limit as to when they may break.

2) theres only 2 bolts and its less then an hour job. (depending on your skills)

3) if you have a 2000 - 2001 I suggest swappin the bolts to be safe. the old bolts were found to be unreliable which is why the redesigned bolts came out in 2002.

4) broken lift bolts are NOT cause by driver error. thats the funniest rumor I've ever heard. They break due to a design flaw.

5) the new style bolts donot break as easily but should still be checked every 15-20K or every 4th oil change. if you wanna be safe. if you dont care never check em. it's up to you lol

My call - do NOT need a lot of 'mechanical expertise' to change the bolts. It's easy with the right tools. thumbsup
