Default can i inspect the timing belt on my 94 accord without removing alot of things?

on my previous car, i could pull off the timing belt cover and just look on it for visible damages.
I was wondering if i could do the same with my 94 accord LX?

i want to just look on it to see the condition that it is in, similar to how you can inspect your A/C belts.

I think you can take off the vavle cover and then just bend the upper timing cover . But you should undo the the bolts at the top of cover. That would probably be the easiest way to inspect.

yeah if you can see damage you should park it immediately, cause it is about to break. When I did mine at 100k it looked perfect.

just make sure you do it right and dont bend the timing belt to much because you can snap the core on the inside of the belt if you take the easy route
