sounds like a busted belt to me.

thanks didnt know now i do thank you but should the belt still feel tight on top?

 

ya it should be, is yours?

 

yea its still tight on top

 

If its tight it could be bound up on top. and busted on the bottom.
The starter will turn the crank and it will turn the crank pully moving the other belts.

 

might have broken a pulley or something.. but if the bottom side of your engine is spinning, and the top isnt, im afraid you may have squashed valves.. very good reason to get a vtec head.. but maybe a busted crank? i would think crank or pulley. hopefully not a crank

holy ****. stop talking. obviously you have no experience when it comes to engines. re evaluate what you say before you post something like that again.

Two things:
1. Whats this supposed good reason?
2. What makes you think the crank is damaged?

IMO it could be the belt if it isn't a tensioner but theres only one way to find out.
