does the temp gauge register the overheating ? sometimes the sensors go out and they do not trip the CEL. also another thing could be a blown head gasket or a big ass air buble in the water pump. have the compression checked, or a leakdown test done. if that does fine just drain and fill the coolant system again. also check to see if your timing is not out of whack since you did all that mad work on the timing belt.

yeah it was 310cc well the timming is good the needle doesnt go up only when it has no water it like the coolant eveporates and stuff blown head gasket cant be cause i had barely put a copper head gasket so i can boosted but i dont want to yet cause of that problem and the compression is still good
how do i dod the leak down test i do all the mechanical work on my car cause we have shitty machanics here in El paso TX and over charge and dont know shit about hondas and acuras
and i keep putting water and coolant like every 3 days and stuff i think i might be the water pump messed up since i have warranty i can exchange it again but i dont know the car doesnt smoke at all or any vapor from the exhaust please help

that copper head gasket is your problem. that is because you need to o-ring everyting on it in order to prevent leaks. i heard horror stories about the copper head gaskets.

Before you do a leak down test, get a clear bottle and drain some fluid from your radiator and your oil pan. Inspect both fluids for sign of contamination........
