Maybe you've got a car that has a engine with 4A something in the name maybe a 4A-GE or a 4A-C or ace or maybe a 4A-GZE it should be compatible with other engines with the A in the name; its the same base right? WRONG
The 4A-FE is the most fucktarded creation man has built.
Why would the put the distributor on the front of the engine instead of the side? Oh thats right because they're evil.
Please though don't take my word for it; completely rip apart a 4A-FE and learn that its shit for yourselves. Oh genius was the plan to put the valves at a angle of 22 degrees instead of 50 doubling your chances of blowing a head gasket. which you have oh so conveniently placed to force you to remove the fuel rail in order to gain access to the head.
Don't stop there though keep going and learn that instead of using 8 bolts to have a strong attachment from flywheel to the engine just go ahead and use 6 then while you're at it move the distributor to the most retarded place that you feel like seriously. Oh you know whats great after you've done all that put the oil filter right next to the exhaust manifold so if you ever decided to change your oil after driving your car that you'll get a serious burn.
ode to the 4A-FE engine. die and burn your piece of fucking shit engine.

Oh and who in their infinite wisdom decided that to tighten up the drive belt you need to precisely crank a bolt on the alternator, which is dark magic unless you happen to be graced with a rare item known as belt tension gauge?
And every 96000km you will have to tear down half your engine to get at that pesky timing belt so you can change out that damn thing that nobody knows when it's going to give out. Did someone say half the engine needs to come out to get at it?
1ZZ-FE is your refuge. Amen.
