Lacks a lot of what? Noise, torque, exploding gerbils?

The probleme is the torque when i start the spree don't burn the gas, the accerelation is boring and it run well in high Rpm.

my elite was like this it was a clogged Exhaust Port. it ran but only at a high rpm and no power to take off. so take off the head and look down in there and see if that is what it is.

if u dont bend the head gastket in the process, you can reuse it since its made out of metal.

i thought once u use it it is no good since it is a crush type gasket.

ive done it b4 when i was doing my 1st rebuild, but i dont really remember if i ran it like that..
if you take it out without any bending (hard to do), you can theoretically reuse it since it'll set in like before. if you have any bends you'll lose compression and the head will leak.
