im changing the head gasket on a 93 corolla with the 7a-fe engine and i happened to mix up the head bolts and found out there are 10 total and 5 are longer than the others. what order do they go?

When you place the bolts in place they should all have the same height.

Sorry I cant tell you the exact location since I've never had to take a Toyota head off!

Tips: Run a tap through the bolt holes to clean up any corrosion and crud from the threads. Make sure you cleaned off the bolts too. ARP thread lube is the BEST for accurate torqueing, but nev-r-seize will do almost as well. Plain oil doesnt work well despite many written directions saying so.

Work smart! Make sure you re-connected everything.
