It can be done. But I hope it won't be just driven after you buy it. You have to go through the basic mechanicals first to prevent any problems. You know the typical, timing belt, acc belt, waterpump, etc. Otherwise it's not fun to watch a car breaking down after the first few miles. II can happen to any car, especially if the previous owner was a numpty.

That piece looks like either (i) a piece of valve guide that broke off previously and got mashed up and was left in during a rebuild (happened to me) - they protrude quite far out of the casting; or (ii) a piece of valve seat broken off and left there from a previous rebuild. Doesn't look like a bashed up valve lock or keeper. It could even be a broken of piece of spark plug outer - if someone had to helicoil a plug.

Why do people even bother with Italian cars? Absolute rot boxes plagued with mechanical and electrical issues. Nothing changes other than your current Fiat might last twice as long as the 6 years max that your 127/128/131/132 would have. French cars no better nor BMW trash and their atrocious timing chain destroying Minis (Citroen engines).

I would be very happy if you answer.I am a 2005 model 1.6 TS 156 user.Engine renewed thermostat and water circulation were replaced with original parts.But the temperature still exceeds 90 degrees (The line between 90 and 130) It gets close to 110 degrees when stuck in traffic or going uphill.When the road gets better, it drops to 90 degrees again.
