Just picked up this 2003 accord and it doesn't run. It's a crank - no start issue

When you crank it sounds like there's no compression, just even-constant spinning

174k miles on the engine, sounds like a bad tensioner and skipped teeth? From what I'm reading it's not hard to bend valves on a K24, is this true?

 

Very true.

 

Looks like some valve replacements are in my future. I'll just go ahead and yank the motor and pull the head off and see what's going on
