    When it breaks, it will most likely ruin your valve train as well, since
    that engine is an interference engine. So, replace it BEFORE it breaks!

    Yep, it will definitely ruin the valves. With a bit of luck your piston
    heads will need replacing as well.

    Dependin on where you live, the timing belt should be replaced every
    60-100k miles. My 94 Accord needed it every 60k miles because I live in
    Toronto (hot summers, cold winters).

    While replacing the timing belt, you should replace the water pump too.

    I agree with Randolph--replace it before it breaks and causes
    lots of damage that will be very expensive to repair.
