Your thermostat isnt opening. Replace it.

Try replacing the thermostat and bleeding the system out when you're done. It sounds like things aren't circulating properly and the thermostat is usually inexpensive to replace yourself.

FYI, one radiator hose is supposed to be hotter than the other.

Make sure to replace with an OEM Honda thermostat. Aftermarket units often have problems.

ok, seal and thermo. replaced, heater works now but the only thing is it go through phazes of running hot and regular, is this because i filled it up but it wasn't on so it may still be a little empty, when i let it sit, it goes like half way between the top of the flag and the end of the actual bracket but when i take off it drops, my fans working now too, im guessing what that was
