what damage will be caused by the breaking of the timing belt with the motor is motion? will the valves be bent?
Right now the coolant is leaking out like a son of a biatch. I suspect the water pump seized contributing to the broken timing belt
 
theirs a good chance u bent ur valve(s) , but i guess it really depends at what rpm it broke. my timing belt broke at around a 1000rpm and nothing was damaged so...
 
well nuthing will break if ur timing belt goes because u dont have an inetrference engine like a talon, the valves in a talon are timed with the strokes of the piston so they dont hit, in an accord there is no danger of hitting the valves so no damage should be done.
 
Was your water pump making noise before? It's possible that if the bearings got loose enough that the propeller inside the water pump wore into the housing... then if you put another water pump your car will over heat because the pump won't move enough coolant, then you need a new block. But it's more likely that your water pump is just leaking by the seal on the shaft due to old age... like all hondas
 
same thing happen with my teg!! the waterpump broke down making the Tbelt broke when i was on the driving about 120 km/h and i got lucky the valves have not bent!!! hop you'll get lucky too
