Re: RVF/VFR head skimming/shim question

Ok,
So...
After a decent track day I'm still overheating. Not -as- bad after putting on new radiators. I think my timing may still be advanced from last year, so I may need to move the pickup back. I also wonder in hindsight if I used the wrong gasket and should have elected for more oil, and used a black coated gasket instead of the middle grey one, as it has the oil restrictor. The black ones are viton covered unless I'm wrong. I am starting to wonder if I either have my timing advanced too much, or, i'm leaking... *GASP*.
My CNC will be here next week... at least then I may be able to skim the heads.
I seem to be able to do 20 minutes or so, but my overflow literally overflows, boils out, then I get too hot.
Geeze, it runs well though, awesome bike, awesome power now.
