hey i`m new here.
i have a problem with a fiat punto 1.2 8v ELX, which had engine trouble untill a day or so ago when i learned of a fuel kill switch located under the dash, so now it fires up. But now there seems to be a problem with cooling;
i know the head gaskets gone(can feel the commpression escapeing the block
*the rad fan wont fire up at all
*theres a problem with water flow, (i am surspecting air lock or thermo stuck)

any ideas on this please, car is a project that is nearing complition, but has a few issues at present. any ideas welcome.

The air-lock could be stopping the fan activating if no water gets to the coolant temperature sensor so the air-lock needs sorting, probably makes more sense to do that after having the head off, skimming and re-building with a new water pump and belt tensioner.
 
well head is coming off anway for gasket and bolt change. dosent help matters that the car has been stood for around a year as it was in a lengthy process of modification.

cheers for the advice will advise as needed cheers again
