    not true..i have been boosting my f22 for the past 11,000 miles on 8psi daily driven (i get hit full boost quite a bit everyday) and my car now has 158,000 miles..the f22 is a very strong motor actually one of the strongest honda motors for boost b/c of the ductile iron sleeves and 8.8:1 compression. a guy on honda-tech just made 335whp and 276wtq on a completely stock f22 at 16psi. another guy daily drove his at 12psi until some dumbass clipped him on the highway and he hit a gaurdrail and totalled the car.

    it really depends on the condition of your motor you may have just blown a headgasket is what it sounds like to me, that has happened to a few accord guys just replace it w/ an OEM coppersprayed one and make sure you have the head milled to make sure everything is flat so you get a good seal and you will be golden.

    My vote is rings and head gasket . If your headgasket is blown youd be losing coolant pretty quick so check that frequently if your running hot.

    it might be his rings, but most likely its just the headgasket since his car is running hot. just do a search in the accord forums on H-T about headgaskets. my car has never run hot even when i had a giant crack in my radiator.
