broken lift bolt w/ move shaft
a buddy of mines have a broken lift bolt with the shaft move. where the lift bolt goes into is a shaft. seems like the bolt broke and the shaft move. so the other peice of the bolt is in somewhere in the shaft. how can this be fix. do we need to take out the shaft. seems like you can knock it out from the passenger side and will come out of the driver side. but you will need to take out a plate and also seems like you need to move the cam gear to do this. any reply will help. thankx

$200 is a heck of deal, how long it took you the first time Smaay? Is it true that the bolt will fall right off when you pull the shaft?
Smaay, this just happened to me today, how do you fix the problem? give me a pm please!!!
bump, really need this answered
this is easy to do if you are somewhat mechanically inclined. It will just take a couple hours to do here is a pdf on how its done step by step. http://teamcelica.com/tech/installs/liftbolts/liftbolts.pdf right click and click save as
Thank you so much, i know that was out there, i just couldn't find it, but can i move it out the back way, instead of messing with the front of the engine?
Do you mean take the VVTL-i contoller out and push the shaft out from there? dont you still need to take the cam off?Thank you so much, i know that was out there, i just couldn't find it, but can i move it out the back way, instead of messing with the front of the engine?
200 bucks would've been nice compared to the 2k i spent at the stealership
I will also do this for $200 and will be done in a few hours. Assuming you want to drive to southwest Missouri.
first time i did the job, took me about 2 days, now i got it down to about 4 hours. if the engine is cool enough to work on. as for going through the other side by taking off the Lift system, im not sure, but you would have to tap the shaft all the way through the head, why not just tap it 3" the other way.

I think the first time you do it it will take a lot more than a couple of hours...
But, if you tap it out toward the passanger side to get it out 3", dont' you have to take the timing chain and gears off? I think his just trying to avoid taking the chain off which I wouldn't mind either, Imagine the chain falling in the timing cover!!first time i did the job, took me about 2 days, now i got it down to about 4 hours. if the engine is cool enough to work on. as for going through the other side by taking off the Lift system, im not sure, but you would have to tap the shaft all the way through the head, why not just tap it 3" the other way.

I am going to be doing that friday night, it looks pretty straight forword, just going to take awhile :sadpace: , and does it say on the paper it takes 6.5 hours or something like that? or is that just what they say to get more money out of us :chuckles:

read the TSB, all you have to do is ziptie it to secure it in place
I know about the zip tie. I've done timing chain sprockets on the VVT-i corolla's before with the chain and everything. But, when it comes to my own car i'm a paranoid little f***. I want everything perfect for my own car to the spec not even off a .00001"read the TSB, all you have to do is ziptie it to secure it in place
Also, how do you know if the chain moved on the crank sprocket down below, you can't see it.
keep it tight and you will be fine. but if you are worried, set the crank at TDC and then put the chain on the cams. make sure timing is set, and you will be fine
800 for me...mondale said:200 bucks would've been nice compared to the 2k i spent at the stealership
