Hi team,

How are doing?

I am Chaitanya from India. I have a question, it would be glad if can respond for this.
I am planning to buy a used car, I have come across with Fiat Linea 2011 model. It had some issues in engine pistons because of the timing chain problem. It was replaced few months back from Fiat showroom. Entire half engine block was changed in it from Fiat showroom. Would you recommend me to buy this car? If yes, what kind of problems I may face if I buy this? I want this car for long drive about four hundred miles, at least twice in three months. So far from my search, I understood pistons and cylinders are inter connected. Will there be any heating issue in the engine?
