YES, the Honda engine is considered an interference engine, which means that the valves will come in contact with the piston if the belt breaks. under rare circumstances if the car is idiling i have seen the belt break and not hurt the valves. hope this helps
It is very likely, if you have broken your timing belt. IF you notice it right away and bring the car to a complete stop immediately-- include turning off the engine--you may escape engine damage. This is not a guarantee though.
