That's definite headgasket symptom... Were the head bolts torqued properly? Was the head checked for warpage? Was the block checked for an uneven surface?

I'm assuming you used an OEM Honda head gasket? Did you follow the tightening sequence? Did you re-use the head bolts? If your certain the head gasket job was done correctly, I would start looking for cracks as others have said.
