don't know. but i love the A series engine in my Tercel. I've never had the belt break. because i change it like every 3-5 years. but before i got the car my mom had one break on her. we towed it home and my dad changed it. very easy.

takes me about an hour to change the belt if i have to remove the radiator, 30 min if i don't have to remove it. the engine it the tercel is not transversely mounted, so it all depends on what puller i have for the harmonic balancer. my dad made one that i now have that is just the right size to take off the balancer without taking out the radiator.
