Hello i recently bought lancia ypsilon 1.4 12v 59 kw 80hp 1997 production year engine code 840a2000 which is fiat engine so im here to ask advice. I bought the car and the engine was running ok and i took it to mechanic for timing belt replacement.When i took the car after the timing belt replacement was running fine eben better than before. But the other day when i started the engine started to have metallic sound and like running on three cylinders after a while i was struggling to keep it running and then it died not wanting even to crank. I moved a litle bit the car being on hill and in gear and it started to crank but like with no compression the engine cranks like the spark plugs are removed cranks too fast and easy.This all happened in time frame of 10 minutes. Could it be broken camshaft or bent valves or something that my mechanic did or didnt do because this all happened a day after timing belt replacement. I called the mechanic and he just said oh well it is what it is you need a new engine. What is your advice should i insist on him to check if it's his mistake or it was just my luck and i should continue to search new engine and what could it be the problem with this one? Thank you in advance for all the help and advice and regards to you all.
