Default need help please read,motor gone?

ok yesterday i was driving on the freeway and i decided to mess around w/ a t/a(just to see how fast they are on freeway)well i floored it and being that the cars is an auto it wonuld't let me go over 105 so i dropped it down too a lower drive so it can redline that last gear i got it to 120 then i was'nt payin attention and it started to bounce ov thr rev limter,as sonn i was heard it i let off then just let the car drop back down to 80 in nomal drive.everything was ok until he started teasein me again(the t/a) so i floored it again at bout 6000 rpm i heard a kinda clanking noise comming from the engine so i pulled over a little while later put gas poped the hood and listened i gave it a rev from inside the engine bay and heard that clanking like sound again. then i picked up my girl and on the way back i was doing 65-70 cause i knew something had went wrong or was wrong,we where almost there when all the sudden the car made a loud noise and it felt like i hit the brake but i did'nt so i gave it little gas to get up the hill and the more gas i gave it it seemed like it was hlding itself back(not going anywhere)

well the car is my bro in-laws 95 acura integra Ls auto it got 140,000 some odd miles on it the car has'nt been running for maybe 8 months but i when i started to drive it i changed the oil and kinda rebroke it in since it been sittin so long also everythin on the car is the same **** from the factory same timing belt everything but the raditor.

anyone know what i did?
i'm thinking i bent a valve!
TIA

You alreay did the damage, attempt to turn the car over with the tranny in neutral and see if it starts, if it does and there is no noise you know you fudged the tranny.

My guess is you messed something up in the bottom end. If so, you're gonna owe your bro-in-law some $$$$. Lucky you didn't kill yourself or someone else (end of sermon).

take the oil filter off and cut the top off. then pull out the paper guts and look in the creases of the paper. if you damaged a bearing there will will be bearing material there.

Hmm, what part about 120mph don't you understand? Obviously you haven't heard of the incident around Orlando Florida.
