Hi , 8 valve or 16 V ??

the bolts have 10mm heads and need "just nipped-tight",
for best results clean the rubber "o-ring" type FIAT gasket ( you can peel it out of the cover on the 8 valve), give it a LIGHT coating of "hylomar" type sealant,
reassemble -fit it on the head, ..only just finger-tight..!!
then an hour or so later ( when the solvent in the sealant has evaporated) you can go to JUST nipped , then you're good to go,

any issues ask again , BUT I'm sure it's all covered in the PUNTO section..,
