90-93 Accord has interference engine?

[vicchang]

Guys,

I searched the forum and the internet on this topic and get different answers. Somes said it is and some said it's not. I need to make sure if the engine is really interference or not.

Does anyone have a shop manual for this generation? Does the manual specifically state "do not turn the crankshaft with the timing belt off" or something like that?

all honda engines eccept the passport has an interferance motor. If you turn the crank and the t/belt is off and one of the valves is in the open position a piston will hit the valve

Thanks for the input. This is what I would like to confirm. I had heard what you siad, but I've never seen any formal document stating that.

I have a 94 Accord Service Manual. I can't find any info in the manual stating this is a interference engine. And there isn't even any warning when it says turn the crankshaft or camshaft when TB is off. Why?

If it's an interference engine, why the shop manual didn't even mention anything about it? It's weird. Unless it's not interference engine.

That's my point, everyone heard it, but does anyone has a creditable document showing it's interference?
