Cool...So my engine seized tonight :(

This sucks...My engine seized on me tonight...I was pulling onto a road, and accelerating, and at around 4000RPM in first gear, a loud bang happened, followed by a metallic rattling sound and lots and lots of white smoke....now, engine wont turn over, and there is oil all over the bottom front part of the engine. Also, there is a crack on the driver side of the head...I've never seen a cracked head before ...

Got it towed to Honda with my honda plus roadside assistance, and I'm going to head to the dealership in the morning to see whats up...

My mechanic buddy figures I threw a connecting rod, or something and busted an oil gallery. All I know is that I should fall under the warranty....I paid for the 6years/100,000km extended warranty, and I'm at 88,000 km currently.

I'll post more info as I get it.
