Running in a Headgasket + more

[Gazza14SR]

Just wondered if i were to change my headgasket if it needed to be run in over a certain amount of miles etc or is that just on a full rebuild?

The problem im getting is that when i gradually put my foot down the car tends to coffs and splutters abit before it gets going, once it is i do not notice any performance difference.

Could it be the fuel pump at all maybe?

Cheers

u mite have a slight air leak somewhere, possibley around the air intake or manifold, or your fuel filter could be getting blocked, apart from that i don't no!

get a garage just to do a quick compresion test to see if ur gasket has gone gaz least that will rule out that

i had exactly the same thing TWICE on my sr i had i changed the plugs and all was well until about a few days later and it was 'hesitating' under acceleration build up and i got a full head set and i rebuilt my carb-NO PROBS MORE POWER dont know if this is what you've got but keep in mind
