00-02 Lift bolts were prone to shearing off, replace them with the new design and problem is solved. Check them every so often to make sure they're not wearing and replace as needed. It was a bolt design issue, not an engine issue. Using the TSB method you can usually extract broken lift bolts in about 2-3 hours if you've not done it before. One of mine was broken, symptom was that lift sometimes felt weak since only one cam may have been getting into the big lobes. Typically for whatever reason the intake rocker shaft lift bolt usually breaks. Mine was like that, fixed it, all good. Little sweat on my forehead first time I started it then hit lift.
