When a timing belt breaks, it may damage your valves or pistons, due to piston and valve contacted. The best way to confirm damage, is to replace with timing belt, reset the engine and perform a compression check, typical psi should be around 170-200 psi on each cylinder.

What happens if i don't change my timing belt as recommended?

If your timing belt were to break while the engine is operating, the camshafts would be out of time with the crankshaft. This 'out of time' would cause the valves to open at incorrect times in regard to the crankshaft/pistons. This break in the timing belt could cause valves to bend or break as well as damage the head itself; pistons could also become damaged in the process.

Does the 2007 Honda Civic have a timing belt?

There is no timing belt. It is a timing chain. I have 130,000 miles and have not had any trouble. It will start making noise when it is time. Unlike timing belts which will break, timing chains wear out slowly.
