overheating problems
ok well i figured out part of the problem, but need help with the other half. i found out my coolent is going into the resevoir tank, but isnt going back into the radiator. anyone know why that would happen? at first i thought there was a leak but i noticed that the resevoir tank is just getting higher and higher whenever i poured more coolent in. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

Bad news bud that is one of the biggest clues when you have a blown headgasket
Edit: check and make sure your rad cap is good that is the only other thing but I would be willing to bet that the head gasket is blown

Re: overheating problems (g0tsilkk)
Have you had the head gasket replaced yet? A while ago, Honda sent out a notice about the head gaskets. Might wanna think about having that done if you haven't. They thought it was the thermo; wasn't that. Thought it was the coolant; wasn't that. I had the same problem a year ago, and this turned out to be the fix.

i just changed both the head gasket and rad cap about 2 weeks ago because thats what they thought was the problem as well. so i guess my big solution would be the thermo i guess
