Unfortunately I had the same on a punto. It's a case of a long bladed Stanley and lots of time sweat and swearing

A mate was in dire straights when his Fiat Panda headgasket blew, would I help?
Ok, I said, you get the parts and we
will start 9am sharp the next morning.
Turned up and the car was in a 'field' beside his house.
Mate proudly announced he had a mechanics manual
for the car.
All goes well until the head wouldn't budge, referred to the manual, a belter of a book written
in italian! The carb and distributor had to come off too.
Still, 3.30pm the engine fired up a treat and saw a few more years of life. But fiats? Arghh!.
