Default I think I blew my heagasket!...Help!

So i raced my friend today and car was running fine....After I finished racing I noticed a slight hesitation at low rpm....But then it clears up after a start gassing it...The little breather valve on top of the valve cover throws out smoke and it smells like antifreeze....Also when i was driving home the car felt like it really lost compression and threw out white smoke that smelled like antifreeze from the exhaust then became fine again...Im just afraid because last time i had a problem that was simialar to this it was a piston ring...and the little breather valve on the the valve cover was throwing out oil and blue smoke...and the car would hesitate through out the enitre RPM band....Any thoughts?....My setup is stock b16...10psi...Cometic headgasket ARP bolts and RC310s with VAFC....

check the inside of your oil cap for a milky goo... its coolant...

also take of ur rad cap and check if ur rad is low.. and check for oil floating on top of the coolant

I don't understand what help you need? You blew a headgasket at the very least. Time to pull the engine apart.

instead of swapping motors left and right, why dont you figure out WHY you keep breaking motors/parts.
