Default Timing Belt

My car shut off on me today when i was driving i was going about 30 in 3rd gear at about 2500-3000 RPM, The tach dropped to 0 and the speedometer still was on and i lowed down stopped on the side of the road, tried turning it over prob a good 20 times, got pissed off took of the distributer cover had my buddy crank the car and figured out it wasnt turning and then i realized it was the timing belt. I didnt hear any metal bashing or anything, i have a 94 integra RS, is this motor a non -interferance motor? Meaning will my valves and everything be ok? Everyone tells me it should be but im just asking you guys

Thank you

Hondas = interference. You may be ok or you may not be. There's no way to tell until you take off the valve cover (or more if needed) and inspect the internals for potential damage. A leakdown test will tell you whether or not you've got bent valves.
