dead eady to do. remove coils, remove cam cover - you'll see the two bolts on the left that will be the same as the two new ones in your hand! replace and torque to 7.5nm. i replaced the cam cover gasket although it isnt necessary but while your there......... make sure there is no oil on the gasket or mating surface of the cam cover and refit. i'm presuming you have a pre 04 Corolla with the weak bolts? you might notice a small amount of wear on them - if you do your lift will be strong again.

any problems or questions you can always post - i've got the torque settings for the cam cover bolts, will have a look for them.

Thanks guys, have just found out from a toyota dealer that i have the revised lift bolts and there is no need for them to be changed.

looking at the pdf above it's not as easy as you say..

away i've for a pre-facelift 53reg corolla...so do i need to do this? car seems to drive fine but ive only had it for a few months and haven't driven another t-sport.

thanks for the info :)
