incorrectly installed head gasket

hi,

is it possible that the head and block could be different?

Only if it has had some work since Fiat built it.

Stop teasing us and give us all the story. Guessing at it is not going to help anyone.

History:
How old is the car?
Is it the original engine?
When did this problem occur?
What else has happened recently? Head gasket replacement, replacement head? Any other work at all.

Symptoms/diagnosis:
What led you to suspect something - and why?

Everything else relevant you can think of.

I'm sorry, it's a 2000 model, the engine was rowdy so I had the head gasket changed as per technician instructed but it is still rowdy so had the tapes cover removed and saw no oil coming out the rail, when a small amount of oil is pored on the cam then it quitens down a bit

I have just recently purchased this vehicle from someone

No oil to the top is often caused by the head gasket being inverted, blocking the oilway. As the noise was there before the gasket was changed, it may have been done before, and your technician replaced the new gasket in the same way as the old one.

Or:
Oil pipe is blocked.
Oil feed up through block to head is blocked.
Pressure relief valve in oil pump is stuck, reducing oil pressure.

If the oil is not changed regularly, it gets thick and sticky, blocking the oilways.
If the oil pipe over the tappets is removed, does oil then feed up to the head? If so, needs a new pipe, or clean it well.
If no oil supply, head off again to see if oil is fed as far as top of block, and ensure gasket does not block the oil feed.
If no oil up through block, it gets more difficult. Oil feed through block is more difficult to clean out, unless engine is out and stripped.

You might be able to ask previous owner about recent history, but if he knows about the problem, he is unlikely to be honest.

hi,

thank you so much for all your help,
i will let the technition know,
he had also showed me the oil feed on the head and the block is not shaped the same and is flat with no oil feed showing,

i could take a picture but i am not sure how to post it here

also make sure that the oil pump is in fact working and that the oil pick up in the sump is not sucking air it has a oring where it bolts into the oil pump if the oring isn't there or leaking then it will suck air instead of oil
