| Snapped Cambelt Hi, I have a Cinquecento Sport 1.1 P reg old shape. My cambelt has snapped.. on these models would it have bent the valves requiring a full head removal and inspection or is it ok to just renew the cambelt ? would there have been enough clearence between the valves and pistons to not cause any major damage ? Thanks for any advice. Carl

| mad bad and very very old  | Re: Snapped Cambelt The engine is safe with regards to piston/valve interface. Find out why it snapped before replacing. Check the waterpump and tensioner. Replace either or both if suspect Cheers D

| custodian of imola blue  | Re: Snapped Cambelt Like the man says, but I'd replace the tensioner anyway: they have a hard life and don't cost a lot.
