Hi, the cambelt on my wife's "P" reg punto 55S broke yesterday. It has been
towed to our local garage for repair. I was wondering if there is enough
clearance between the pistons and the valves so that the damage would be
minimal so that I could get away with replacing the broken belt? Thanks.

I have heard people saying that with a 55 motor when the belt brakes,
there will be no damage... dont know if it is true...
I am curious if in your case there is any...

I was told this by a Fiat Dealer.
Still don't know if it's true!
