Ummm yeah, the valves and the piston got a little too friendly with one another. Chances are, the valves left an impression in the piston and the piston bent the valves.
In otherwords your engine is ****ed.
The valve springs don't have enough force to close the valvetrain quick enough at that speed.
Honda is going to scan your computer, figure out pretty quickly it threw an over-rev code, then charge you to rebuild the motor.
Take it in anyways and see what happens. Play dumb, it's all you can do now, because obviously damage is done. Try and get the check engine code erased at an auto place if they have an odbII reader. Then just tow it to Honda and say the car died one night when I was driving.

PM me if you know companies that are hiring.
even better get the code cleared then tell them that you let a freind borrow it. That way you can really say you have no idea when they start asking you.
