With the belt broken it is obvious that with an interference engine that the crankshaft cannot be permitted to turn without the camshaft turning in proper time with the crank. Even cranking and the belt breaking could have caused a valve to bend already. To secure the crank in position one would have to either hold the vibration pulley or the flywheel by accessing through the starter area. More tools are needed than the typical home owner has. The alternative would be to remove the head but the crank pulley nut is still to be removed. Since I have a large (3/4inch drive) impact wrench I would remove the wheel on the side of the car that the problems exists and I would put the impact wrench on a socket and hold the vibration damper and let her rip. If necessary I would cut a hole on the inner fender to access the socket. Sue may be able to put a breaker bar and a socket on it this manner and the whack hell out of the breaker bar. What is needed is the shock to jar the nut loose. Since the belt was supposedly low use there may be other problems such as a tensioner or water pump seizing. Most of this needs to be changed at this time also. Keep us updated and good luck.

Take the valve cover off to identify which cylinders have their valves closed.

Remove the spark plugs to allow easy rotation of the engine, and to check which pistons are up and which are down.

Select a cylinder with closed valves and the piston down. Stuff rope down the spark plug hole, filling the cylinder with it. Use hemp or similar rope. You want non-compressable stuff.

Put the breaker bar back on the nut, and apply force. The nut will come off.

Be mentally prepared to be pulling the head. When a Honda strips its belt, it invariably lunches valves. Even if it was idling.

wish you were closer ... i'd buy it .... we used to race those back in the day .. i have a 91 awd wagon with the same engine. I assume you haven' t had the engine apart and have not had any previous machine work done to the head or the block. You may have escaped without damage to the valves.

soak your nut down with PB blaster and walk away for the evening ... after it sits overnight ... take your impact and start "bumping" the nut back and forth that should do it.
