I have a feeling my shit is fucked. Advice still needed. Timing is way off, compression test got me 20 psi. It might be low because I either bent the fuck out of the valves, or because a valve is open during compression stroke. Timing best is missing atleast 10 teeth, im not sure how it happend. I am thinking about pulling the cams out and trying a compression test or leakdown test with my tester but im sure im pulling the head this weekend anyways. First time ever going this far into a Honda motor.

Pics
Number 1, TDC on compression stroke. As you can see the marks are off.






Belt is fucked

Yeah it sucks. What are the chances the bottom end is still good? I'm guessing if a valve bent then it fucked up the valve seats?

Bottom end may still be good depending on how far the valves dropped when your belt went out, but im pretty much positive your head will need machine work and a few new valves

I doubt u did much damages if u have a stock b16 cam.if u bend a valve the seats will be fine its the guides that get chipped

Well I do believe it has stock cams. I didn't see any marking on the exhaust cam when I took the cam cap off behind the vtec solenoid.

How bad would this damage the pistons? Could it damage anything else in the bottom end? Would a something like a valve hitting the piston would that damage the engine bearings at at?

Pulled the cams and did a leakdown. It's leaking a lot on the exhaust side, and on the intake side on #4. I even tapped on the valves with the handle of a hammer. Pulled the head and I don't see any signs of the valve hitting. No marks, lots of loose carbon thought. The pistons are not PR3's, they are higher compression pistons, not sure what kind though.

Are there any cheap valves out there?
