My car is loosing power and is bad in 1st gear. Very slow coming out of junctions and horrendous on hills, needs to be reved in 1st gear to get up the hill. Usuall power was fine, never needed to rev at all.

Car over heated causing the cambelt to slip and water basically boiled my engine.

It had fitted a headgasket, 8 exhaust rockers, 2 valves, new inlet manifold, egr valve, vaccum pump, water pump and cambelt kit.
