yes it will because the rotor will not spin.. so no spark
motor will spin faster then normal

Just take off the timing cover.

did you even check to make sure the phillips screw that holds the rotor in inside the distributor is still in? if it backs out and falls out the rotor will not spin either.

I am pretty sure it will still spin. Its keyed, so if its on the shaft it will spin

Hmm, i would think it's keyed like all the other Honda motors in that gen on up. Now if it's your timing belt, glwt man, as far as i know, those motors are collision just like the rest of them... I'm not a huge Prelude fan, so don't take my advice to heart, please ask someone else who is more experienced with them, hope you get it fixed, bud!
