The head/block are likely to warp. But are they out of spec? Checking
the head is easy with a precision straight edge and a feeler gauge.

If you have extensive damage it can cost you, but maybe you don't??
Basic HG replacement should be no more than $800. I'm sure Honda sends
it out to their local AERA member and slap on a big profit for
themselves.

Look up http://www.aera.org/
Click on the red "Find an AERA member shop in your area".

See if you can get one to check on your car at the dealer. And ask
about warranty. If you need a replacement engine, check Marshall or
Jasper Engines for availability. These usually come with 3-year/100K
mile warranty.
