i got a 93 ls with a broke t belt, guy said it happened when he was comming around the corner of his street, which the way it was he couldnt have been going very fast
shoul di just slap a new belt on and see what happens? or whats the best way to check for damage, do i have to pull the head?

p.s. i know jack shht about b series, only familiar with sohc

 

myself, I'd try timing everything with a new belt, slap the VC back on and fire it up. If ot runs great, let it go. If not do a leak down test on each cylinder to see if valves smacked.

B series = a ------- PITA to yank the head! Why I love my SOHC.

S = SIMPLE!





S also = SLOW

 

never seen a honda motor loss a t belt and not bend a couple valves

 

in theory, it should smack the valves.................

but I've seen otherwise.............

 

true


I have seen the carbon get hit up never actual piston damage just a little scratch and the carbon taken off but ya I guess try the t belt but Ill guess atleast 3 bent valves in there


But you could get away with drivin it like that for a short time if you dont rape it and decide you want to drive cross country

 

just replace the belt and see if theres any problem. if it DID bent any valve (verified by compression test), I would go ahead and slap on a vtec head since everythings off already

 

i think the ls is a non interference motor because i have seen a couple with broken timing belts come through work and not have any bent valves

 

it's interference. i've seen a few other engines w/ snapped belts that have survived though

 

All modern honda motors are interference motors
