Blown Head Gasket ?
Hey guys looking for some help !
01 honda s2000
71K
turboed for 300 miles
13 psi 350 WHP
Stock head gasket
So my car was tuned yesterday and drove great the whole day, IT did take a good amount of abused yesterday. Well on my way home yesterday i did a pull with a friends s2000. At 4 gear full throttle around 8000 the car shut off. pulled over and tried cranking and nothing the car would not turn on. after about 10 minutes the car started again, at this point smoke is coming out of the breather pipe connected to valve cover and a ton of smoke is coming out of the exhaust. I was about 2 miles away from my house. so we decided to drive it home, drove fine on the way home i did not notice anything out of the ordinary. got home and started the car again, same issue tons of white smoke (smells like oil) coming out of the exhuast, breather pipe did not smoke any more. i did notice a ticking/tapping sound that i have not heard before but sounds more like a TCT then rod knock or anything like that. Planning to do a compression and leak down test this weekend. So what am i looking at worse case?
I was pretty ticked yesterday so i didnt get a chance to look at it anything yet. any input ?
thanks

Was the tuner competent ? If your having trouble this quick after the tune then it sounds like a bad tune . As for the engine it sounds even worse . Check the oil level and coolant . Start with the basics and if you are not a prayer then i would suggest starting ! Good luck !

Got my fingers crossed and praying that its a head gasket !
Tuner is good, tuned two of my friends s2000 and very well known in the area. We did have some issues on the Dyno, but we were already at my power goal of 350 so we tuned the rest on the street which was just to flatten out the fuel curve at WOT. what would cause smoke to come out from the breather pipe ?

Sounds like lost ringlands and/or a piston. Does it sound different when it turns over?

The only difference that i noticed was the car was cranking like the battery was out of juice. It did not sound any different, but ill check again later. The car drove perfectly fine did not feel any lost in power. Just a whole lot of white smoke

With that being said. Sorry to say. It's most likely going to be rings and/or pistons. The "battery was out of juice" is loss of compression.
God! that is not what i wanted to hear.
Two months of work, and it was damaged in less then 6 hours! Speechless
