Default honda engine problems

I have a 99 Accord LX Vtec 4 cylinder with 82,000. Until recently this car has been impecably reliable. I have always followed honda recommended maintenace program. I found engine oil in my radiator and also the antifreeze overflow reservoir was full of oil. The oil dipstik was showing low. My mechanic says I need a another engine ($3,000 job) because he said the engine block is cracked. I thought maybe the head gasket but he did not believe so. Do you think he is right. This is a big shock to me because I thought I would get at least another 100,000 miles from this car. What do you think about the price, 1200 for used engine with 30 to 40K from japan, 200-300 for a tune-up parts, 1500 for labor. I am in a very tough situation financially, do you think honda would help. This is unprecedented for honda autos.
