Ok heres the skinny. Its a 5 spd 1990 accord lx non-vtec. it sounds like the rocker arms are nocking. now the beast dosent start. it tries to but doesnt turn over. i pulled the vavle cover off and there seems to be no visual damage. anyone got any ideas, sort of a newbie here on this stuff, trying to learn. anyone know where i can get a scimatic of the assembly or anything? or any ideas? please someone help! thanks for the insights people.

And maybe this is a stupid question but can i try to start the car with the valve cover off and the plugs in? just to see if the arms are bent or anything? dont worry not gonna try till i find out
