hi
I'm just wanting to know if the valves will have been bent on a 1.4 16v because the timing belt has snapped?
Thanks,Danny

If you can do the work yourself and source a new head then it might be ok but I don't know if you need new pistons, I cant help you that much as I dont know about bent valves etc but someone else on here might be able to help you mate.
