hey whats up guys. I have a 92 honda accord with the SOHC 2.2L engine. While I was driving down the road getting ready to stop i hear a humming noise and then the car shut off. So when we looked at it at the shop the timing belt snapped, the timing belt was only 5months old. Now alot of older honda techs were telling me that I could probally get away with just replacing the timing belt with the chance of a blown head. Now other techs are telling me that if I'm lucky i bent some valves but most likley blew the motor. Now can someone please tell me what the hell is true and whats not.

.....By the way I did not hear any knocking or feel any vibrations like alot of people said i would have heard/felt and also the car trys to crank over from the bottem crank...

Take it apart, unless you want to put another timing belt on it and see what happens.

I had an issue with a timing belt tensioner spring breaking after doing a timing belt on an F22, I swore I would never do one again! lolz

Like kleen98accord said, pull it apart. If you bent a valve even slightly, it might not be noticable till u start drivin it and then it could become worse. Spend some time, get a new head gasket, and be sure the valves are good. My belt snapped on my 90 and it just shut off, no thumpin, no sounds, no knocks. Bent 4 valves.
