    we manually turned it over seeing as how we left the block in the car and time was limited.he specifically put the cometic on to compensate for the weakness of the oem issue gsr head gasket. he said when he was building it he was checking clearance's and had bought a oem gsr headgasket and had intentions of putting it on but decided to buy the cometic to take the heat of the nos. my buddy " specialist" got a lotta bitchin from me to make sure i wasnt gonna have some bent valves. so he checked height of the combustion chambers , and compared them to stock b16 (same basic head) wasnt that much of a difference my only worry was water-e oil making the bottem seaze up. but didnt seem to happen. im gonna change the oil one more time to make sure there is no more coa-coa milkshakerrrrrrr

    If it's close to the b16 it may be ok but I wonder if the slightly more aggresive cam's will effect it much. There's only two ways to find out...clay test it or crank her up
