well my father is a mechanic has been for thirthy years but not on hondas ....he says that it is probably a head gasket...but what bothers me is if it is and it has been ran with water in the motor that could lead to a cracked block or head(either would suck)....ill post pics in the morn just figured maybe someone who deals with hondas more might have a better idea ya know....

Lets not jump to conclussions right off the bat, lets see some pictures first.
A lot of times companies will use a power washer to spray down the engines, so it could just be water sitting in there from that. Pretty normal, depends though on who you bought the engine from. I know when ever I get engines from hmotors they always have water substance in the spark plug holes.
