No strip it down and check valves, pistons, rockers and cam for damage

its a non contact engine iirc, so shouldn't of done any damage

1.2 is an interference engine. You could be lucky and it could be ok but for piece of mind I'd check it. If you have my luck whatever can go wrong will go wrong. lol

1.2 is a 'safe' engine

I had a bottom pulley come off at 60, engine was ****ed i had that happen too... and mine survived that, & i even found the bits.. maybe my 1.2 had a charmed life

As far as I know, some spi 1.2's are interference, bit carbs ones arnt. Belt went on my last one, new belt fitted in ten mins and never missed a beat from then on. And didn't Burgos go while he was towing on a motorway?
