my timing belt snaped on my way home a couple days ago, whats the chance it blew the motor... it did make a couple sounds before turning off?

 

A piston most likely made contact with a valve or 16 and bent them causing you to not be able to create compression.

You may be lucky though. Go ahead and throw another timing belt on and see if it cranks then do a cyl leakdown test. If it won't start, go ahead and yank the head, send it off to be inspected and also look to make sure your pistons are ok.

 

i snapped my timing belt a while ago, and the motor was fine, but it did not make any sounds before it died, so i dont know what to tell you

 

You most likely will have at least a few bent valves. A timing belt snapping is one of the worst things that can occur. Here is a pic of a friend of mine's H23 from a few years back... timing belt went one day and bent all 16 valves, and broke a rocker arm; which he is holding in his hand.

 

How many kms did you have on the belt.
I've found that they can last much longer than 100,000km

 

you will probably have a bent valve. mine snapped and we thought it didnt bend any valves so we put a new t-belt on. car ran fine but shook a little at idle...did a compression test..300...300...295...0

do a compression test

I also think you should change your oil more often...damn that looks like La Brea Tar pits down in Exposition Blvd.

 

i dont have the time or money to fix it so i bought a shitty ef and im gonna swap an h22 intothe lude over winter... i was sick of the h23 anyway,plus i wanted a winter car. but dont worry i didnt give up on the prelude, i love it

 

you definately bent a valve or 16 all hondas have an interference head which means that at TDC the valves (if open) will touch the piston head.
