i went tuning today and towards the end of the tune...the car started blowing out whiteish blue smoke from motor and exhaust..i pulled the car over and poped the hood and the oil dipstick poped out leting all the oil out...the motor kinda sorta runs its mostly just constant smoke and bogging....did i blow the headgasket or a piston/ring....let me know thanks

 

make sure you have enough oil in the engine, then do a proper compression test and come back with the results

 

sounds like your burning oil

 

only a compression test will tell, white smoke usually means blown headgasket though... maybe you have a bit of both how many miles on the motor?

 

blue smoke means your burning oil. your dip stick poping out means there is excessive pressure build up in your crank case, which leads me to believe your PCV valve is stuck closed. check the PCV valve, im pretty sure that will solve your problem

 

im going to check compression tomorrow.....where is the PCV located on a 2001 accord 4cyl(f23A)...thanks guys

 

id have to say head gasket or pcv

either the PCV is not allowing crankcase pressure to be vented

or the headgasket is toast and is pounding the compression that is being lost from the cylinders into the crankcase, but then it would also show up in the cooling system, id check the PCV first, since it is both cheap and easy

bad headgasket wouldnt leak compression into the crank case, only rings would do that.
