no it wont be anything else, its over heating because your water and oil have mixed...forming a sludge...so the water pump cant pump it around.

get down the garage asap

According to Mr. Google B16A6 was fitted in South African Civics, interesting as I have never heard of it either!
Otherwise - Yes, probably your HG's gone, try to turn your heater on and see if it's working, also you should see coolant loss as it is being burned by the engine.
 
ya the heater works fine. how will i know if its burning coolant? will this cause the car to perform less?

this forum is really helpful!
much respct!!
 
You should see a drop in the coolant level. Anyhow, driving a car that overheats is not a good idea so take it to the garage asap and have it checked properly! If you keep driving it you're likely to cause more serious damage to the engine than blown head gasket!
