Default blown headgasket???

okay.. here is the deal.. so i sold my clutch and flywheel.. i pulled out the motor.. put back the old stock clutch and flywheel.. got the motor back in and started it up.. it started like usual.. drove awkward cuz of all the stock stuff.. BUT..... this is where it gets weird.. the car drove fine for like 1 minute.. then it felt like it was losing compression or something.. it would go then right away stall.. eventhough my foot was on the ground it wouldn't move.. at first i thought that i had missed a sensor or something and its just acting up, but i pulled off the valve cover to check to see if my timing was correct and i see white milky gunk.. (oil/antifreeze mix)
could the car have a blown headgasket? the car drove perfectly fine until i changed the clutch and flywheel.. btw.. the car is a 94 cx with h22... it couldn't just go out can it? the car is eating a bit of antifreeze also... this is the first time i pulled off the valve cover in the last 2000 miles... any word of advice would help.. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN UNTIL I PUT THE MOTOR BACK IN!!! IT RAN FINE BEFORE I PULLED THE MOTOR OUT... thanks guys....

if there is white milky stuff mixed with oil...then most likely its the head gasket....do a leak down test and that can tell you...sorry

overheated, blew the head gasket... milky stuff in the oil and the fact that it consumes anti-freeze is pretty much a sure sign.

i think it's just a blown gasket.. i'm pretty sure its not a warped head.. the car has never overheated... never ever ever err... hehe.. but the weird thing is that it only happenend after i pulled the motor out.... after i put it back in i took it for a ride and it drover regular then boom.. it stalled and no throttle response.... could it be anything else? the milky stuff is hardly notcible.. just a tad bit... very very little.. could a blown headgasket make the car stall and have no throttle response??

one more thing.. would this stalling and no throttle response be caused by not have a tps?? it ran fine before without one....?

If your throwing the code for the tps, then the ecu uses a preset voltage and the car runs rich(for safety purposes). I would also check the IACV and the MAP sensors. I pulled my motor before and went to put it back in, switched the map and tps and the car stumbled hard, misfiring. Most of the time its switch sensors.
