Default few Qs on my Y7 block/Z6 head motor in my 93 civic

quick question on my motor in the civic I just bought a few weeks ago.

Its a d16y7 with a d16z6 head.

I was driving yesterday and went to go over a speed table and I was around 2000rpms. I pressed in the clutch and the car died. I tried to restart it a few times but it wouldn't start. I parked it on the side of the road and checked everything I could but found nothing wrong. I put in another distributor in after checking for spark and not getting any. Still wouldn't start. I went to test the distributor and couldn't get to the rotor screw. I ran a wire from the + to the starter and when it rotated the distributor didn't rotate but the cam gear did.

Question
1: could this have damaged the valves? I guess the only way to know is to get the head off or to get it running and see what hapens. right?
2: will a d15b7 cam gear work on a Z6 head?

car is still sitting on the side of the road because I can't afford a tow truck or any car parts right now.

thanks

cam is not moving but the cam gear is. I think the cam bolt cam loose and it destroyed the cam key. I'm still trying to get it towed to my house but I can't get in touch with any of my friend that have a truck.
