Fitment is the whole point of this one: the 1987 Toyota Corolla factory service and repair manual is tied to that exact year and to its 1.6-liter four (4A-LC, 4A-GEC, 4A-C), so every clearance and tightening sequence it gives is the figure Toyota published for this car rather than one carried over from the model year on either side of it.

Known issues on the 1987 Corolla. No recalls are on federal record for the 1987 Corolla. Owners have filed 15 complaints for the year, and Toyota has issued 7 technical service bulletins.
Fourteen trim and transmission combinations wore the Corolla badge in 1987, from the DX hatchback to the FX16 GT-S, which is why the trim and the transmission matter as much as the year when you go looking for a torque figure or an adjustment spec.
