Indeed.
I also got away with a Mk4 Cortina 1.6L. The belt snapped so I kicked in the clutch and rolled silently into a carpark to thr confusion of those there.
IIRC the 1.6L was a non valve impact version so it was just a new belt.
Here's pictures of my pulley as removed from engine.....

Also uploaded piccy of one piston ALL 4 were like this... look at lower part - valve impact damage.
Not pretty!
