This is the only mention I saw of the timing belt... I agree. Pull the cover and inspect the timing belt. It will most certainly need to be replaced but you want to make sure that its not already broken or at a point of imminent failure. My first car was an '87 accord with the 8V 2-liter (and carbureted!). I'm not specifically familiar with the Prelude motor and I haven't had my accord since the late '90s but I am pretty sure it's an interference head. As long as the belt is not broken or doesn't have some nasty looking dry rot, it probably won't take much to get it up and going.
...the golden era of Honda's in my opinion
