You need to replace yours.

Here's what happens when timing belt breaks. Although this didn't occur due to a timing belt breakage, it had same effect; crankshaft and camshaft are not in sync and pistons hit the valves. I was lucky (relatively) that pistons were not damaged.

Replacing the belt is way cheaper than buying & installing a new engine...

Between $400 and $800 (it all depends on what part of the country you live in.) Mine cost $450 for the timing belt, water pump, seals, and outer belts. I have been told that was a very good price.
Use genuine Honda parts. Have either a Honda Certified shop (likely cheaper) do the work or a Honda Dealership (more expensive) do the work.
Look in the Phone book for Honda certified shops and dealers in your area. Call them all and get price quotes.
