Default I got a problem

Im pretty shure i blew a ring land #4 cyl at the drags cause white smoke started coming out my breather and my exhaust.But now my breather spits oil and my car overheats cause i keep on loosing coolant. I did a comp test and that verified my ring land problem #1 128 #1 126 #3 125 #4 46 kinda bad. My leak down test showed 50% . could i have killed two birds with one stone ring land and blown headgasket. thanks

only way to find out is to pull the head. I highly doubt you cracked a sleeve. Whats your setup to include power output?

If it was just the headgasket would it still blow smoke and oil out the breather

Probably not. It would blow combustion gasses into the radiator or there could be coolant in the oil and oil in the coolant. Excessive blowby from the oil breather is most likely coming form a smoked ring or broken ringland.

Odds are its a Head gasket. Before you tear it down though do a good compression and leak down test to find out which holes are giving you trouble. Also dont rule out the possibility of a broken ring to boot.
