well, i just wanted to share with you guys that with so much delay i finally changed my lift bolts. the thing is that mine is a 2002 gts with the new style lift bolts. i have read of somebody else from nc.org having this very same issue. well, his exhaust bolt broke but not the intake side which is odd b/c most ppl have their intake bolt break first. in comparison, my exhaust was way more worn out then the intake. the exhaust bolt was worn out about half way!!! luckily i did it though. well, i'll be driving the car and seeing how it feels, seeing if there are any leaks around the valve cover gasket that i replaced, or any other problems and i will update wit you guys again.
