Default Headgasket blown Please help!!!!!!!!

I think my headgasket is blown on my GSR, but I am not sure.
My engine leaks oil were the head meets with the block,
When ever I get on my car it stops pulling after 7,000 RPM
It feels like it dont want to go no more Especially in 3rd gear.
I really need some help,
And if it is my headgasket, what Ill do I need to fix it?
Do I need Head studs, I heard you need to resurface your head
Please help

headgasket? does the car overheat... on resurfacing. if you pull the head (replacing the head gasket) then you need to resurface the head. the oil leaks is probably from valve cover gasket. or camshaft seal by the distributor.

its fine if the temperature is in the middle. drive around the car for a while check to see if your losing coolant i doubt you gotta blown head gasket.

sounds like you have a leak poosibly on the valve cover seals or cam seal. when was the last time you did a tune up on the car. the littlest things can be the problems sometimes

you might want to repleace your valve stem seal.
are the spark plugs loaded with oil or the is burnig oil.
is the car smoking or overheating.

The car dont smoke, but the problem is that at high RPM it dont want to pick up any more, after 7,000 it stops pulling and it feels like it takes forever to get to 8,000 RPM
1st gear picks up good, 2nd is decent, 3rd dont want to go past 7,500 RPM takes forever to redline.
I race my friend he has a GSR hatch (it is stock like mine)also, I had him beat by the end of second gear by about 1.5 car length's, by the time it took to redline 3rd he had me by half a car,
what could be wrong with my motor, it only has about 80K miles on it.
please help!!!!!!!!!

i wouldn't beat on it anymore till you find out what is wrong! that could only make things worse.

have you checked your oil? i know it sound dumb but if your motor doesn't have enough oil pressure it will fall out of vtec. just one more thing to look at especially since your leaking oil.
