Get a radiator clean/flush from a radiator specialist

So Flush it out with some Honda Anti-Freeze Coolant but also give the radiator a clean, Nulon makes a Radiator Flush & Clean just follow the directions, Hopefully this will fix your problem an many others if you have only been using water :pedosmiley2:

coolant is almost just as clear as water since coolant is 50/50 with coolant. so the brownish stuff will appear even if u had the coolant isntead of all water.

my money is on a cracked cylinder head :eh:
