We're running an 88 CRX in the 24 hrs of Lemons. We have run two races and blew the head gasket both times around. We changed the motor for the last race and it lasted until 2 hrs before the end of the race.

We are going to machine the head flat this time around, but I was wondering if anybody knows any cheap tricks to help cooling - i.e. if there is a bigger radiator that would fit right in the hole, or any other tricks? Our budget for this is $50! We can get radiators from any car for about $20.

Also we ran this motor for two hours without water! we're rebuilding it on the cheap - do you think that the block itself could be warped and need decking? or would it be OK?

Thanks
