I've never had that happen to me yet, fortunately, but I would assume that as long as you didn't bend or break any valves, you should be fine. You would just need to replace your timing belt and re-time.

AS long as it is a NON INterference motor, it will not bend a valve. That motor shouldn't be an interference motor. Only bigger 2.0L and 2.2L motors are. Call your local autoparts store and they can tell you.

Yeah, plus you'd hear it once you get the motor running again.

Huh?

All D series, B series, F series, H series, and every Honda engine I can think of are interference... All interference means is that the pistons and valves share the same space and can 'interfere' with one another should timing be off (IE. belt snapping)... Size has nothing to do with it...

That said, its 50/50... Some ppl get lucky, some dont...

But if your spinning the cam without spinning the pistons (with the belt off), you can actually bend them yourself if they arent already...

D-series engines like yours are very low interference and usually survive a timing belt braking.
