hey there all
im a newbie to this site and would like to introduce myself,
then possibly get some of my problems sorted on my car
i have a fiat punto 2000 reg W, after recently changing the head gasket the car run fine for about 5-10 miles and now it is smoking blue smoke and missing, this eventually got worse to missing and the car idles and runs rough, leaving big thick clouds of smoke on the road i have not a clue on what it could be and the mechanic who repaired it assumes the head may have cracked without carrying out any checks?, im assuming it may be the timing which has beccome off set, is there any where i can check the timing myself i have already spent lots on the car and do not want to spend anymore as i cant afford to at the moment, somebody please please help any advice will be much appreciated.
Regards
Jeff
