ok, so... I really hope you guys can help me! (no doubts, but I am new to this post, and new to owning a nissan)
I´m down in Chile for a few months, and got a 1989 nissan sunny 1.6 5 spd. from some guy who can´t get it to run. He said it just died going down the road, no noises or anything like that. The starter turns, I took it out and tested it. I tested it because it sounds like the motor is not turning over when I turn the key. had my girlfriend turn the key while I checked the crank pulley, and it is turning with the starter. I now proceed to remove the upper timing cover to look at the belt. It appears in place, but I noticed a few worn teeth on the belt. Now, when the crank pulley is turning, the cam pulley should also be turning correct¿ That's what I figure...but it´s not.
I am now about to remove the lower timing cover, which I presume to be a hassle(I don´t have a gear puller to remove the crank pulley). The timing belt should also go around the crankshaft, right¿ Please help, my prev. experience is working on rear-wheel-drive German cars...
