Do you have antifreeze mixing in the engine oil? Check oil if it has a milkshake appearance you probably have a blowed head gasket.

the engine will either blow steam from the mating surface of the two parts, or your exhaust will be white(steamy) in color.O-kay,How do you know if you have a blown gasket?
a comparative compression test, a cylinder leak down lest, LOOK at the oil ( a blown head gasket usually leaks water into the oil making it look way different.) steam or white smoke out the tail pipe along with a radiator that cannot stay full is a good sign of a failing head gasket. looking back at your question i have to ask one question though. on some vehicles there is a thermostatic bleed port so that you can bleed the air out of that housing, with out doing so that thermostat will not open. Accuras an Hondas are part of that group of cars.
