I assume you are speaking of a timing belt (as it is known in the states). If the belt is snapped, there could be damage as the valves could have stopped in an open position while the pistons were still in motion, causing a potential for interference between the parts. As to the clearance in the motor, I cannot say but there are motors that can break a belt & not be damaged. Most of these motors are of the low horsepower variety (a Fiat Punto 1.2 fits this description). Only an inspection upon repair will give you certain answer.

This is known as an interference engine. In the event of a timing belt failiure, the valves collide with the pistons. This leads to bent valves, possible damage to the valve guides, possible cylinder head damage, & on very rare occasions piston damage as well
