well my college is scrapping a 1.2 brava very soon and it did have a good engine when it came in but the cam belt has been on and off a few times without the locking tool used
im guessing there could be a possible be a bent valve at worst case as the engine hasnt been ran
would be be best to take the spark plugs out and turn it over by hand to check if it hits anything, if thats ok do a compression test to see if timing is out massively?
any help would be appreciated on how to check this, quicker the better as were doing a complete strip down and cataloguing a punto :yum:

EDIT its the 1.2 16v super-fire engine
