It is possible. However, there are a number of things that we need to check.

Let's start with checking this guide and that will get us on the same page with this issue.

I would suggest starting with block testing the cooling system so let's use this guide to check the head gasket.

Honda's are a little different, but these are the basic things we need to start with checking.

Please run through this and let me know what you find.

Thanks
