Engine Blown

Alright so I was doing 120km/h in my 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT and my revs were at 5krpm then its started to chug and sound horrible so i slowe down eventually killing the engine; i was able to drive it back but wiht a horibble squealing and knocking noise, I was wondering; did I kill the engine, and is the dealership/mechanic able to find out if i over torqued it? like will they know through a computer device if I blew the engine due to the speed I was at?
 


did it throw any codes? Unsure if our cars have the "black box" ability that the dealer can pull........I dont think so, but am unsure. Why would this matter? You were only going like 75 MPH right? Tell them you were on the freeway........what is the speed limit on the freeway?

you could have been turning 5k rpm in first gear and done the same thing just as easily.........it shouldnt matter

Well I'll call them tomorrow; I'm sure its there fault it blew. Both valve head gaskets were just replaced and the power steering pump as well; all coming to 1500$ none out of my pocket; but I'm thinking they ****ed up somewhere because when I got it back It was vibrating harshly in the steering wheel and it seemed almost bouncy when I drove felt like I had a flat
 
Valve head gaskets? Hmmm...never heard of those.

Valve Cover Gaskets?

or Head Gaskets? Big Difference...
