any lucky owner here.........how many miles,,untill your timing belt broke.? any aftermath affect?

 

if your's broke...your 95% FUCKED...bent valves and possibly bent cam.

Don't you work at a honda dealership???

 

think of the car is in wot, the two intake valves are wide open, snap&(*^(%^(#& the timing belt's done

the pistons are driven by the crankshalf hit the two valve, bending both of them and giving a good scraping to the piston surface, the rod slammed to the wall.

cool sh-t huh? honda ohc=interference engine

unless you drive a old skool car with L or T head motor

 

my timing belt slipped at like 7x,xxx k miles. bent the valves etc.

 

yeah i work at the dealership......just recently i worked on a 94 civic w/ 200k miles on it.......it came in w/ a no start and die on freeway.......

his timing belt broke, so i put new one in......line up all the mark......start it up.....run fine.....

shut it down. check compression.......that engine is good.......god damn lucky.....

because of dat experienced that's why i want to know if any other lucky owner...

sorry about my bad gramma, and over lap sentence.. hehehe

 

yeah good luck with that one man...better look into an H22

 

One thing that makes a huge difference in whether or not valves get slapped is manual or automatic tranny. I've only seen one auto car that bent valves when his belt broke and he said he was at about 5k rpm when it happened. I've seen quite a few manuals that have broken belts with no damage. These motors are interference motors, but with the exception of a couple Prel. setups they are not extreme tolerance motors. Our shops usual is to throw a belt on it and see if it runs. Most fire right up with no ill affects.
