Worst case scenario, the pistons will slap the valves wrecking them and possibly even scaring the piston heads as well. Could be very costly so replace your timing belt at regular intervals to avoid this.

Does the 1991 Honda Prelude have an interference fit engine?

I have a 1990 Honda Prelude, and it has what is called a high interference engine. So if you are asking because of the timing belt situation. Yes change it every 90 -100 thousand KM. If it breaks you could end up bending your valves and usually it is not worth repairing..
