    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?

    interference engine... resulting to tukod when the timing belt snaps.. making the valves baluktot and sometimes makes butas on your piston

    Meron palang ganun? Yun hindi siya tutukod? I mean hindi mag-aabot ang valve and piston?

    yup.. but mostly interference ang engines natin.. that is why when an engine fitted with a timing belt suddenly dies, check the belt first before restarting.. if you force it to restart then say goodbye to your engine if the timing belt snapped.

    sentra 1.4 .
    one time,
    lumuwag yung timing gear bolt.
    kumalas ang chain at tumirik.
    kinabit lang ng mekaniko uli, at umandar agad.

    that was the largest volume of exhaled air in my life.

    non-interference engine - iyon ata term dyan doc.

    i think my dad's good ole galant sigma was like that. our suki mechanic told me that that car's timing belt snapped once before and no damage was incurred by the motor. hinila pa nga daw nila papunta sa talyer nila.

    yun na nga.

    ano na kaya si post-er?
    naluwagan na kaya niya yung distributor at na-paikot na niya yung distributor?
    the procedure is in youtube.

    pag ayaw gumalaw o mahatak, spray liberally with wd40 and pukpok mildly.

    we used to paint the crankshaft pulley marks with typewriter corrector fluid, for live timing adjustment using xenon timing light. the neon timing light is simply too dark.

    sir, hindi ko pa natanggal ang rotor. Im afraid that it might be broken, sarado pa naman mga auto shop ngayon due to ECQ. I badly need the car now wla kasi public transpo. Anyway, I will take the advise of spraying wd40 baka luluwag.

    Thank you so much for your suggestions mga masters, it will help a lot!

    na-subukan nyo na bang i-youtube kung papano gawin?

    baka makuha sa WD40 + KONTING pukpok, sikwat ng screwdriver...

    Some rotors are locked by a tiny beveled screw. If stubborn still, some heating using a torch and a reasonable whack of a mallet should loosen the rust.
