F***in B12!!!!!!

[HogieGT-R]

dammit the B12 Sentra is fuckin messed.....i had 2 drive it 2 a function hall cuz i was goin to some sort of senior empowerment thing at the other end of town...as i'm drivin there...the car loses power and becomes really heavy feeling....i pull over and then the oil light comes on..."great no fuckin oil" i say to my self...i pop the bonnet to look under and i try 2 start the car...plenty of power there..the tired sohc 1.6 litre inline 4 whines and grunts but doesn't start...a good samaritan pulls over and tries 2 help me but we don't get it started..i had 2 leave it on the side of the road with hazards on while the guy gave me a ride to where i was supposed to go....here i am thinkin that the engine seized and since it's a tired B12, i'm not sure if the would replace the engine....my dad had the car towed and it turns out that the timing belt is fucked up meaning that the engine needs 2 me retimed...fuckin shit

That sucks the big one. Time to find another mechanic.

Does it have a non-interference motor? If so you got lucky. This what happened to my car when my timing belt went....as a result of the water pump seizing:

Needs timing? Hell, I've set the ignition timing on my 360 without a timing light - and you don't really need one for valve timing jobs really (I don't think, I've never had the timing belt snap, just replaced 'em for routine maintenance) How long had it been since it's last timing belt?

I incorrectly put the timing belt cover back on the MArea and as a result it's eaten away most of the built- result is I need to change it again I know how it feels when a timing built snaps though- I perfer Fanbelt snaps at leat you can limp the car to safety

to tell you the truth the belt hasn't been changed for a long ass time.....it's my mom's car and i used it to drive 2 school, because parking in Boston is way too expensive...it just pisses me off because as well i have alot that i have to do this weekend...i don't even know how i'm going to do these things without B12 i dunno

nice time to fuck up on me

Actually, if all that happened was the belt snapped...consider yourself VERY VERY lucky. E16 powered B12's are an interference motor, and most of the time, you will end up bending some valves, damaging the head, pistons, (the list goes on).


My B12 is just over 155,000kms on its original timing belt, so I am in desperate need of a new one. Hopefully it will be taken care of next week, and hopefully before mine breaks

Is that you having a smoke next to the engine?

Naughty. Should never smoke in or near a garage.

I thought the Sentras had timing CHAINS...or was that just the B13 and up?
