It sounds as though someone either forgot to put in the head gasket, or they removed it before you got to it. The engine sounds over compressed. I would check to see that there is a head gasket (shim) in place. And I wouldn't run it much as it is until I knew one way or the other.

Highly over compressed engines will never get to their peak rpm because the timing is too far advanced.
