cal Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 B series are usually non interference long as your not in Vtec at the time it snaps.if you were then id say your gonna find a nice mess.D's usually have more clearance although my old A9 had a 55 thou skim and the belt snapped. it broke all the cam cams in half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johngreen537 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Mainly depends on how hard it was being driven when it snapped mate.If it's in VTEC, you'll have issues, if not, then you'll more than likely be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
