i hate to be a downer, but chances are your gonna have big problems... valves are probably gonna be bent. what kinda timing belt did yo use? did you change it and if you did, did you buy a genuine honda timing belt? i have a b20 too and am about ot put it in. bought a genuine honda timing belt and hoping i dont have to worry about this

hope everything turns out ok
