Your piston rings may be bad. Do a compression test to find out.
Punto head gasket change is quite an easy job to do. It is almost impossible to give step by step instructions on these pages. The best that I could suggest, is for you to get a Haynes manual for the Punto this will show the exact procedure to follow.

I assume you mean head gasket. Symptoms are: White smoke from exhaust, loosing coolant with no apparent leak, oil level overfull, a white foamy substance on the underside of the oil fill cap, air bubbles escaping from the radiator, and sometimes an engine misfire. A compression test will verify if the gasket is blown.
How to change glow plugs on grande punto
sorry to say the head gasket wasnt done properly the last time go back to the bloke who done it and wack him i had the same thing they are ment to skim the head after the gasket change

Sorry, no it is not possible. Are you sure that it is the heater? Airlocks in the radiator can cause same issues. Common fault. Cylinder head Gasket gone? Check oil for creamy substance. If present your gasket. I updated another couple of questons about same thing (in more detail). Search on Fiat Punto overheating. Good Luck.

If your gasket has blown and overheating occured then skimming will almost certainly be needed. Send it for testing and skimming better to be safe than sorry.
