I went to a test and tune in gainesville florida for the first time in my crx. i got there late and was only able to get 3 passes in 30min. time.. 91 crx si b-series stroker engine built by dfe enterprises. i was running on 14" steel wheels with 205/55/14 nitto drag radials..
this was clearly just me getting in a little bit of seat time and first couple shake down passes. just looking to see what you guys think.

did a leak test today and apparently my heating issue at the track was my headgasket leaking into number 1 cyl. after reading some datalogging my airtemps were at 180 degrees and water hit close to 250degress on the last run..
time to pull the head tomorrow and get to work on correcting the issue.. seems i always have problems with cometic gaskets.. wont purchase them again..

Do you use Copper Spray on both sides of the headgasket? I have used cometic gaskets in my setup and never had a problem with them.

yes i used copper spray on both sides. the gasket is .075 thick..
i used such a thick gasket due to my pistons sticking up .035 now im gonna remove the pistons and cut .035 off of them so i will be able to use the oem golden eagle gasket.. im going to gain a little compression also depending on hoe much i take off the dome of the piston..
