There is a TSB (#EG010-03) issued regarding intake and exhaust lift bolts for 2000-2002 GT-S models. The bolts are experiencing some heavy wear under lift usage, and have been known to break off, causing a bit of work to remove the broken pieces. To prevent this, it is a good idea to replace the old bolts with the new style bolts (part# 90105-06293). You can get the bolts from your local Toyota dealer. Cost should be between .60 and .80 cents a piece. This is a simple install, will take anywhere from 20-40 minutes depending on your skill level.

6) Pull the igniters/coils out of the valve cover.

 

 

7) Unbolt (2 bolts) the ventilation pipe and be careful not to harm gasket.

 

 

8) Remove the 2 bolts holding the Wire harness and hose to the right of the valve cover.

 

 

9) Remove the 9 bolts that hold the Valve Cover on.

 

 

Bolt #7 will require the socket swivel head due to limited work area.

11) Remove the 2 Lift Bolts and replace with new bolts. (front is intake, rear is exhaust) Lift Bolt Torque Spec: 5.5 FT/lbs

The new bolt is on the Left, and the old is on the right. Note the wear on the old bolt.

The new bolt has a taper where the lift bolts are wearing out, which redirects the load and extends the life of these bolts.
