Timing belt in 1999 Honda Accord EX broke and bent intake valve?

Source: Yahoo! Answers

The intake valve in the engine bent as a result of the timing belt breaking completely. My mechanic said I can drive with the bent valve because all it causes is a rough idle in my car. The power is fine on the highway; but the idle revs up and down while parked or stopped... Read More

  • It's probably time to get a different car and sell yours for whatever you can, but let the buyer know how the engine is damaged. It still has value as a parts car - especially the transmission. If you'd kept up with the maintenance schedule and changed the timing belt more frequently you'd probably have another... Read More
  • "My mechanic said I can drive with the bent valve because all it causes is a rough idle in my car" get a new mechanic, what kind of idiot would tell you this?

Other Choices:

The Honda Accord Coupe's most direct competitors are two other coupes derived from front-drive, Japanese-brand sedans. The Toyota Camry Solara is based on the four-door Camry, and has much softer handling than the Accord Coupe. It's due to be replaced after the 2008 model year. The Nissan Altima Coupe is a new entry in the market, and sports four- and six-cylinder engines and a profile that reminds TheCarConnection.com's editors of the late Chevrolet Monte Carlo.
