    Yes, I am not shure how you would know which one it is. I havent heard of many heads cracking but I am new to Honda so don't take my word for it. It is probibly the gasket though. they seem to be the culprit more often than the head. Eather way you need to remove the head. once the head is off you may be able to find a crack if the gasket is in good condition. Good luck.

    the head gasket is prolly the main culpit. did you happen to over heat the car? if so the head could be warped, or even cracked, i went through that last spring, and warped my head. just got it shaved and put it back together and it was fine
