Default my lude is shot

the other night i was driving home and i was doing about 90-95 mph and my check engine light started blinking. seconds later my oil light came on followed by my battery light... a few minutes later i stopped at a light and it stalled and i had to pop the clutch to start it... i drove about a mile down the road to a gas station and i noticed a huge cloud of white smoke coming from the exaust... i popped the hood checked the oil which apparently was burning and leaking out of my exaust and it was low.. i then added a quart at a time until it was full (3 quarts) then proceded to take it real easy and drive home.. the next day i called honda and they told me to drive it in so they could look at it b/c they figured i blew a gasket... on the way in my car just died so i had to get it towed... the following day i went to honda and they told me that the piston blew through the head (b.s.) then the next day i was told that my piston had a hole in it... does anyone know what can possibly be wrong with it.... I have all my service recipts and my car has 97,550 on it and is covered till 100,000 honda has been jerking me off for about a week now and i want some answers.... Thanks all info is appreciated.. 98 sh

blinking CEL usually means major misfire, if you were suing that much oil, and blowing smoke, you blew your engine, sorry bud, i doubt Honda is BSing you, you're fucked

Is it covered under your warranty? What mods did you have done?

as long as you are within the warranty standards, yo shoudl be OK, even still, they should have had you tow your car in in the first place, not drive it

is there really a hole in the block? Either way, if you are covered, you will have a working engine.
