Re: which new timing belt 87 terc-HELP
Size? They sell them by make and model, all for the 3a and 3ac engine are the same (all Tercels '83-86, and '87-'88 wagon). I have never replaced the tensioner, the factory ones seem to hold up well, I would spin it and if it smooth and quiet, reuse it. Some recommend always replacing it, and on some cars that is good advice, but I have not had one go bad on any of the six different Tercels I have owned.
'87 Tercel 4wd SR5 (current engine swap project)
'84 Tercel 4wd (daily driver, with on going mods)
'92 Mazda MPV 4wd (wife's daily driver)
'85 Tercel 4wd DLX auto(daughter's daily driver)
'01 Honda Civic (other daughter's daily driver)
