My friend was going down the highway at about 60mph and his timing belt broke. He has a 1.5 honda w/ a d15b2 I was wondering if that would cause any damage to the engine at all. I know this has nothing to do with turbos, but i would rather post it here and get an honest answer wrather then posting on honda-tech and get a wrong answer or no answer at all.

thanks,
drew

 

yes, it could cause bent valves

 

no, its a non interfearence engine it will be fine with a new belt and the reason the old one broke fixed.

happened to me 4 times so far

 

I hate to have to break it to you, but the timing belt is broken.

 

what about the a6?
or a b2 with a z6 head?

 

im not sure about theem but the sohc d's your ok

 

OH, RRY?

i thought all these d series are interfear.

 

I dont think so Iv droped a few belts and they have all been ok
i could be wrong but Iv don it in a d15, d16, zc X2

 

Interference.

 

LS claims interference, will knock carbon off valves/pistons, but no bendage in 8 cars.
