Yea that is what I figured. If the belt breaks, don't the valves stop moving while pistons keep going, basically f@cking your engine?
Thanks for the advice

you're way overdue man. Honda recommends 75,000 I believe. The maintence is very cheap compared to the cost of breaking one.

my GF's CRX just snapped a belt. we were on our way to the shop to get the belt and water pump replaced and it snapped. a $300 job costed me $800. do your self a favor and replace the belt. all of the valves except for 2 intake ones are bent to hell. it is now getting all new valves, 3 angle valve job and the head is getting milled.
