Well i gots a d15b2 in a 90 crx and the timing belt snaped took off the valve cover and spunn the cam and it dosent seem that anything is bent do you guys think im f***ed or not

I've never had that happen to me yet, fortunately, but I would assume that as long as you didn't bend or break any valves, you should be fine. You would just need to replace your timing belt and re-time.

i dont think anthing is bent if it was woldent one of the springs be conpressed or diffrent frome the others

AS long as it is a NON INterference motor, it will not bend a valve. That motor shouldn't be an interference motor. Only bigger 2.0L and 2.2L motors are. Call your local autoparts store and they can tell you.

RevengeCRX

Yeah, plus you'd hear it once you get the motor running again.

sweet ill put the belt on

Huh?

All D series, B series, F series, H series, and every Honda engine I can think of are interference... All interference means is that the pistons and valves share the same space and can 'interfere' with one another should timing be off (IE. belt snapping)... Size has nothing to do with it...

That said, its 50/50... Some ppl get lucky, some dont...

But if your spinning the cam without spinning the pistons (with the belt off), you can actually bend them yourself if they arent already...

D-series engines like yours are very low interference and usually survive a timing belt braking.

Skywurz, dont forget to "heads up the timing". If your in Houston Ive got a clean d16 out of a CRX Si. lemme know. Good luck with your REX!!
