    help me with my valver , Calling 2live, Winston, Gunner etc.

    Hello Guys, Just about to pick up my new valver and it has a problem or two...

    It doesnt accelerate like it should and it tops out at 90mph. The owner tells me it should be the head gasket needing replacing?

    any ideas? nothing too expensive i hope, i just want it to run decent for a month or two till i transfer my hybrid engine into it!

    john
