Default why are hondas so reliable

well got bored at work today and decided to blow my d15z1 motor. we drained the oil and ran the car for 20 minutes at redline. than we added water into the engine until it overflowed out of the filler cap. reved it some more and it sill didin't blow up. we threw bolts down the intake, and shot water into the throtle body and it still did not blow up. after an hour of redlining the motor i gave up. even the bumper catched on fire and the hanger bushing for the exhaust were on fire. ohh well and i wanted to blow a hole on the block or something. here are some pics of the car shooting flames.
