Here goes
My 1.2 R reg Punto is drinking water, running rough as hell and the coolant smells like petrol/exhaust so I assume the head gasket has gone.
I've got all the bits to change it but the engineer who is going to skim the head says that the camshaft needs to come off to ensure all the valves are closed, is this correct, I was hoping to leave the cam in place.
Also if correct, what problems can I expect in removing the cam and then replacing it, I have got plenty of numbered plastic bags.
Thanks V much
