You dont need to drop the engine out to put a timing belt on.
Put the belt on and then turn it over by hand, if all is o.k start it up and do a compression check.

Easier than taking the engine out.

Easy to do the belt in situ. Don't take the head off until you get the belt back on and see if all is well. One step at a time and all that.

I've had two cambelts snap in MR2s while I've been driving them. One was a rev 2 turbo, the other a rev3 n/a race car. In both instances the belt was changed and the engines totally undamaged.
As a general rule of thumb Toyota fit belts to non interference engines, and chains to interference versions.
