Well if the belt snaps you can bend the valves.
That might not be the problem though, but its better to be safe than sorry!

Could be the alternator, very common on corsas for them to whine.

If your name is anything to go by, and you drive a 12v corsa, you'll be on chains, the whining noise will just be you aux belt/alternator. Mine does this sometimes when its a bit damp.
