Generally speaking - if you have not put high performance flat pisons in, - nothing except it'll run badly.
read this post for info on the timing belt change procedure:

Your 1.3 will have 4 bolts holding the accessory pulley in place.
Note especially the red-colored text.
I hope that this helps!

Hey ack you are knowledgeable about engines... is the 8v sidekick/tracker 1600 engine an interference engine?
i.e. it will damage the engine

Always handy! Snapped cambelt is a side of the road job rather than an engine rebuild

Non interference means that if the cambelt snaps... the pistons don't go up far enough to smash the valves...
So you just put a new cambelt on.
If it was an interference engine, the cambelt snaps... pistons bend valves = expensive
