What "black cover separating the valves from the belt?" You can't visually inspect for bent/ burnt valves by just taking the valve cover off. You need to either throw on a new belt, cross your fingers and run a compression test, or take off the head and have it inspected by a shop.

198K is pretty damn high for an original belt. My dad used to have a 3g civic carbed with like 250k+ (the speedo cable broke) with original t-belt, clutch, water pump, you name it. You have to be piss lucky not to have bent a valve though.
