Water in pistons
I have a 97 honda accord. Right when I start it up it revs hi and stays there for a little while then the other day when I went to start it it wouldent start it turned over like it wanted to but would not start I gave it a little gas it chugged for a sec then started When I got home I started it and same thing again but this time it would not start so I check the gas line going in to the injectors and there was gas I tested out my spark plugs and when my buddy turned the car on coolant shot out the spark plug hole....... I check three of them and they all had it. My first thought was my head gasket but the only problem is I just changed it 2 weeks ago and it was working perfectly fine then this. Can some one give me some advise of whats going on here? If it helps my radiator would bubble before and after the new head job
headgasket didn't seal. you're going to have to tear it apart, check for any damage, and replace the gasket and try again.
what did you use to clean the head and block surface before your re assembled everything? my machine shop (been around for 40+ years, east co machine shop) told me to use mineral spirits to clean it. worked great, cleaned EVERYTHING up and my hg seals great now

yeah most likely you didnt put your head gasket on right or something. Get a compression tester and test all the cylinders. Usually, but not always when a head gasket is blown, more then once cylinder has low compression.
Either your headgasket is way toasty or you have a pretty big crack in your water jacket.
There is a slight possibility that your intake manifold is leaking coolant down a runner, but unless it happens to be the cylinder on the passenger side you are out of luck.
Tear it apart, use all new gaskets and get your heads inspected at a machine shop.
