timing belt snaped

[Barefoot]

TO ALL THOSE THAT THINK ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO BREAK A TIMING BELT AND NOT BEND VALVES THEN READ MY SHIT

you might get lucky tho like i did. i was driving and mine snapped on my h22 accord. luckily i wasnt driving fast. like 45mph. i pulled over and tried starting it numerous times. i even tried push starting it and that didnt work. then i took my valve cover off on the side of road and found no timing belt. well i towed it home and before i went out and spent tons of money on valves or new pistons if i had chipped those. i put a new timing belt on and did a compression test. turned out everything was fine. 225 across the board. so it was a easy fix for me. hope everything turnes out good for you man.

1 luck story vs. the 100s over the last 10 years ive done wouldnt change my mind at all. ill stick with what i know for a fact.

Well i could give you as many lucky stories as you want its more like a thirty seventy chance that there bent . I have replaced several that have broke and had great luck and ive had bad luck but being as it was your sister driving you may be ok. i wouldnt worry wbout spinning the motor over trying to start it ive heard a battery doesnt have enough power to bend a valve not sure how true that is but ive heard it alot. i would pull the valve cover off lay a strait edge acroos the valves if one dont touch its bent simple as that or do a leak down test . I have done five h22s and they have been fine . There is another member on here his car was one of them and its still running fine so im not just shooting you a line of crap. You have to put a timing belt on it anyway so put it on if it runs fine then your good if it skips pulll the head off and get a USED head and put it on . I have about four laying around. It cost to much to get valves put in one and you dont want to beat the bottom end out of your motor so just put a used one on it.

amen.. ive seen plenty of broken timing belts.. B18 non vtecs, F22as, f22bs, even 3.2 CL motors and TL motors that have broken the timing belt, put on a new belt and voila, perfect compression across the board.. ive seen way more not bend valves than ive seen with bent valves.
