oh its hot. dont worry though its fixed. it was the vtec ground wire.. lets just say it was on another important ground wire the just messed it all up. all though for some reason when i turn my ac on it leaks and overheats sometimes after awhile but only one bar over. its leaking from the thermostat housing still. where the pipe connects to the thermostat. What you think?

on the thermostat...take the thermostat off and see how bad that gasket is. you may want to add some liquid gasket to it.

i'd take it to someone that knows how to diagnose your issue. spend some money now before you ruin that motor.

Your car is the ground and the ground is the ground is the ground...

Crossing ground wires isn't like crossing the beams of a proton pack.

I went through all of this 2 years ago...replacing radiators,hoses,flushing,etc...and in the end it was a leaking headgasket....put a new OEM honda headgasket on along with honda headstuds and it runs like a new engine...not saying that this is the solution to yours but I would say there is a good chance...

its not overheating anymore guys... just leaks from the housing.. It was a ground or it needed a good bleed. either way hasn't overheated in the last 3 days...

Everything looks fine as well.. no smoke. no oil in the radiator. no water in the oil...
if it is the head gasket. its very small...
