Friend learned the importance of timing belt
Ok, so a friend of mine took apart his 93 civic ex engine and (d16z6) and aparently the piston some heads, and a valve screwed up. he recently changed out the timing belt (the belt broke and probably messed up a valve) and the engine wasnt running good probably due to some bent valves, they decided to just let the car run like that and after a while it just stopped running altogether a broken valve made a hole in the piston and messed up the head as another result
As to not get blamed for this, it was my friend, just wanted to show you guys what happened

Yeah, he's just going to replace the entire engine.. he didnt even know it was a vtec engine . but i always thought that they were always on the valve cover, but i guess not.. or the engine was replaced haha

Nope, gotta look at the engine code, oh, and the vtec solenoid will give it away too.
That engine looks healthy, lol.
