well really it was broke.. i had my bro turn it over while i loked in the valvecover and saw no action so u pulled the valvecover and timing belt over off and it was still there an taught so i started turning the motor over with a ratchet on the cam and the timing belt ripped. after i tugged it out of there it looks as if it lost about 10 teeth and got cut up by the crank. the belt had been broken previous to me buying the car, so i dont know what was happening when it broke. noqw do you think this motor is still good? and is there any easy way to check for bent valves without having to put a timing belt back on it or take anyhting else apart?

well can anyone provide any info on if the d16y6 is an interference engine or not?
i was under the impression that all hondas were interference until a guy down th rd told me that this motor is not

 

They are all interference. Throw a new belt on there and see what happens, but make sure you find out what ate teeth off the old one.
