I can't tell, but it does not look like you have all the doghouse tin in place over the cooler. The doghouse tin ducts the superheated spent air from the oil cooler BELOW the engine tin, rather than inside the engine bay. This could be the source of your high cylinder head temps, but could also be any of the things Jimmy stated.

Also it could simply be carbon buildup has upped compression and caused the overheating to occur. How do the spark plugs look?

The tin over the cooler everyone has(the one with the Porsche shield sticker). The two after it that fit into a special front firewall tin(not shown here) are the three pieces you may need.

I'm with Jimmy on octane. 91-93 is available everywhere. Ten percent ethanol actually HELPS with cylinder cooling and detonation resistance.
