    Stuck? Seized?

    Use some heavy penetrating oil... you need this for old cars.

    I have liquid wrench.. but never had to use it yet.

    Gamitan mo ng open wrench na kasya yung pinag lalagyan ng rotor sa pinaka baba ha.. tapos lagyan mo ng kahoy para tukuran nung wrench... leverage ba... para masikwat mo yung rotor.. minsan sa tagal nyan biyak na yan rotor at need na palitan

    Di ba pag timing nyan yung distributor ang pipihitin mo? Pwede mo gamitan ng tanchameter kung wala ka timing light

    "tanchameter".
    heh heh.
    we used to do that, back when cars were garahe-friendly.
    but we would still get a hold of the timing light, asap.
    baka kasi mag-premature engine death...

    I don't know but sometime i had my car "tuned up" properly with a timing light. Mechanic set the timing to the correct mark. But the car seems not running well with the correct timing.. so i ended up using tanchameter to my liking..

    if it does not seem to idle smoothly or accelerate well,
    baka sira yung advancer?

    Alam ko you don't need to remove the distributor if you want to change the timing... May screw siya that holds the distributor para hindi siya umikot.

    Same here.

    Yung sa corolla ng kuya ko dati, sinet namin properly yung timing. di ganun kaganda takbo. Nag advance sya using tanchameter. Ganda ng takbo. Then he went south. Pagdating sa sucat, tirik makina. Tumalon at naputol timing belt.

    Overhaul ng wala sa oras. Tinowing pa namin.

    Wala naman siguro connect yung timing sa pag talon ng belt.. more of poor installation yan, belt quality at valve setup..

    Since stuck up yung rotor, baka may corrosion na yan or baka basag na.. need na din palitan.

    Sa nissan vanette dati yan problema ko.. di maitama yung timing.. basag pala yung rotor at may play na.. nung palitan gumanda na takbo at tumama na timing

    is it possible,
    timing belt frayed, resulting in timing gear teeth jumping out of position,
    resulting in poor engine performance.
    timing reset by twirling the distributor, somehow remedied it for a while.
    then belt finally snapped.
    tirik engine.

    in some engine designs,
    cylinder head, valves and seats, and pistons, are designed in such a way, that no metal will clash against another (valves versus pistons), when the timing belt/chain breaks.
    my sentra engine is like that.
    what is that term?
