Hey guys i am new here
i have a 1.2 punto

i had a couple months ago replaced the head gasket but i had the timing belt fasten with a rope and put it back on and is started immidiatly
but i forgot to venting the water so the headgasket was blown again

this time i did the same procedure, but it wouldnt start
so i chekked the timing and i saw it was way to wrong
i have fixed the timing
and it started immidiatly, BUT! cilinder 1(left) is not working
all the other 3 cilinders works very fine
i also moved the timing belt one theeth to the back and front but same result
cilinder 1 is not working, and i have chekked everything
anyone any idea how that come? is the timing belt stil wrong?

I have checked everything, and i have found the problem!

it wasnt the timing belt, when i got to the fiat dealer they told me to first torch it down to 20nm then 40nm and last 1 qwaurter and another 1 qwourter

but when i started the engine you could hear sometime air comming out of the piston

so this time i didnt listen to the dealer instead of tightenning the bolts TWICE a qwaurter i did it 4 times and the car started perfect and also IDLE

so for everyone who changed there head gasket and have problems make sure the bolts are tightend very well!
