Moved to the C7 Tech section for assistance. If you need parts, the C7 Parts for Sale/Wanted would be where to look.

Fire inside the engine cylinders = good.
Fire outside the engine = bad.
I realize that you are from The Maldives and English might not be your first language. May I suggest that you have someone who is fluent in English help you write your post. This would result in the best advice from our forum members.
Best of luck in your repairs.
