Radiator problem with my Honda civic hatchback '91.?

I can start it but with no water in the radiator, since it actually "spits" the little water ( like a muffler) I have in there, or won't start if I fill the radiator all the way! (I'm thinking that it kind of floods one piston, because at some point I can try hard many times to start it again till I force it and "spits" the water with lots of force again!..

It seems to me that it could have a cracked head gasket since I'm getting air pressure going into my radiator (I just changed the manifold gasket and wasn't that)!...

I changed my water pump, head gasket, water seals and timing belt about 2 years ago and I only think that the mechanic put too much pressure on those bolts on the head engine!..And I don't see any water in mi oil dipstick in the engine compartment!..

Any other possibilites from anybody?
