The arm is on a gear and shouldn't move (not sure just using common sense) if you did move it the engine should be turning with it, and I doubt every much your that strong and that the arm is strong enough.

Yes it makes a difference!! Your ignition timing will be well out. Why did you twist it? What are you trying to do?

On a lot of dizi,s u can move the rotor arm a little and it springs back but mine feels really stiff
( the rotor arm that is lol)

That's because it's pushed (and keyed) onto the distributor shaft, so it stays in the correct position.

Good leave it!

Why on earth are you trying to move it? Only gonna put your timing out?
