Default heat ?

is it true with the k20 engines that they produce alot of heat at the ITM because honda installed a thin metal gasket thats not helping heat? should i fix this or should i just get a hondata gasket????

No, it is not true. I have my Ep with about 13K mikes on it and have never encountered any heat problem. I drove 2 1/2 hrs strait going about 80-95 MPH my first semester in college every weekend to go home and there is no overheating problems. I know many other Ep owners and no complaint at all. Get the hondata if you want but it will not do that much IMO.
