Re:overheating on highway
I would never pay that much for a stock radiator for a Honda. Egay has them for like $75 shipped with a lifetime warranty. Unless your fins are ALL bent over and smashed in, that's not going to cause this problem. If that radiator "tech" was actually trying to fix your problem he would have checked the radiator with a probe for hot/cold spots. A clogged radiator will have really hot spots and cold spots(at operating temperature).

jesus christ people.
if you have a air pocket in your coolant. leave the radiator cap off and let it run for 10 mins. keep adding water if it goes down. and fill up the resevior.
if its the headgasket take the head off and replace it. if the head is warped have someone resurface it.

Re:overheating on highway
ok for all you unbelievers and people who were sooooooooo dead set on the head gasket thing, you were wrong, it was my radiator. :P I put a new one on last night and took it for a 30 min drive on the highway and the temp didn't raise at all 
made my day!

Re:overheating on highway ** PROBLEM SOLVED**
i would have suggested a leak down test first. mine actually made the coolant a little dirty, especially in the coolant reservoir. the leak down took a few tries to do, when i just happened to notice bubbles in the neck of the radiator i knew it was the hg. leak was so small that i burned coolant very slowly and probably only when i took it to redline.
needless to say my new block has a new oem gasket sprayed with copper and arp head studs and is running like a champ. n/a that is. im sure boost wont budge it unless i happen to detonate..

I can't believe no one has mentioned doing a compression check...
And no one has mentioned the fact that when you ahve a blown head gasket, it can cause air bubbles in the coolant passages...
