I changed that timing belt on the side of I-275 at rush hour, and was only an hour late for work!

You've got to love those old Hondas with the non-interference engines. Timing belt breaks on that, install and re-time a new one. Timing belt breaks on a new engine like a Subie or VW, it's time for a rebuild head.
