Default HELP PLEASE! MOTOR TROUBLE!

Um yeah so I rebuilt the head before I went to Nopi this year and put a new headgasket on. The car was running great and pullin really strong! Well on the way back from Nopi, I was doin 80mph and I downed to 4th, hit vtec and at some point ( I forget now) my car felt like it had hit rev limiter. I immediately pushed the clutch in and the car revved back up. But instantly I noticed power loss. The cars been driving fine (still with power loss) for the past week, but again today I went to push again, and it happened. This time in 4th gear at about 6,000RPM. Once again, it felt like a more harsh rev limit. Clutched it again and instant rev, the car runs fine...But what the hell could this crap be? HELP!

That's what he means, although I don't think it's the t-belt. Your descript isn't the best so I'm not sure what it is, though I don't think it's the timing belt. Oh well, anyways, yes, that's what he meant.
