I really want some good info/advice. My only car that runs just broke down. It is a 87 honda civic sedan. The timing belt broke. I have learned that my engine is an inference engine in which if the timing belt breaks the valves could get bent and/or destroyed. I was coming home on a back road going 65 mph when the belt broke. I have no money right now. How can i tell if the valves are bent and/or destroyed? I tried moving the cam pulley and i can barely move it. Are you supposed to beable to move it when it's not in gear? I talked to a mechanic and he said it would cost around $1200 to get it fixed. Any advice/info would be nice.

1200 to get it fixed is crap.
I own a 90 Accord EX and to get a fully rebuilt engine with around 100k+ miles on it, it costs around 1200.

For @$1500 you can go B16A with all the trimmings and 160 hp to boot!
