Not on a fiat punto. At least not on 1.1 version 1997...

Hi Sonia, your in luck your engine is known as a "freewheeling" engine that means in the event of cambelt failure valve to piston contact (damage) is unlikely but a compression test should be carried out to rule out any damage

"Cam-belt failures generally result in broken valves, valve guides and possible bent con-rods, this requires a major overhaul and a large bill."
