Some motors are interference, Valve damage will occur, & some motors are Non-Interference, Valves will not get damaged. Call local Honda Dealer, give them your V.I.N. # & Ask them if they could give you the info.. Parts Department is who you would want to talk to. My 88 Prelude is a interference motor, but the T-Belt broke at idle, I knew enough not to re-start "cause I suspected the belt & no damage occured. Thats luck !
