HEAD GASKET OR NOT?? Urgent help needed

[Steve_uk]

Hi peeps, seems i have more issues with my machine, after doing extensive work a few months ago, it has been running just great over the last few months, then i did an oil and filter change as i use it as my daily runner I thought it needed it, anyways, I emptied the old oil out ( as you do) no problem noticed, but i did notice the terrible cream stuff on the filler cap, assuming it was just a bit of condensation ( due to running it over winter on very short trips to work) i filled it with new oil, and filter, and as i always do, put some slick 50 in, anyways, couple of days running, i noticed the sight glass was white ( i just thought after math from the filler cap) anyhoo, kept running for a week or so, not overheating, no smoke, doesn’t seem to have lost any coolant, power was normal 0-100 3 seconds ish ( remember old rider old bike lol) but that creamy stuff was bugging me, so decided to do a strip down, now normally, if a head gasket had blown, there would be cream slime in every orifice in the cams, oil filter, oil cooler engine oil...etc , but no,,, clean oil in cam area, clean oil in filter, clean oil in cooler clean oil when i drained it, also took spark plugs out and they were normal, BUT...clutch housing, full or cream gunk, starter housing full of cream gunk, so before i strip the head of it, is there any other thing i could look at, or has anyone got some sort of idea as to what else it could be, because i am out of ideas as to what is going on, baffled is not the word i would think off........so any help would be much much appreciated as need my baby back on the road so the missus can have her car back.......... Also, does the Gen1 K2 model have issues with the clutch slave cylinder housing (also known as the front chain cog housing) as this is the second one that has cracked since owning the bike for last 7 years

are you the one , who rides only 3 miles to the job and leave the bike till evening, even it is freezing temp outside?

if yes no wonder that you got "Nutella" in the trans-box - take the bycicle 4 that short way and leave the bike in the garage.

at only 3 miles (or so) the oil can´t reach the water condensation temp ot over 85-90°C and you will have that damn mix - hazelnut creme ("Nutella").

change oil and ride only over 30-40 km - one way - to get heat into oil or you´ll kill the engine.

@Steve_uk

how did you decided now?

best would be to buy an electric car for the very short way to job and leave the busa (and any other fuel burners too) in the garage.

sounds crazy i know , but to protect your "burner" , the electric motor is the best solution.
(and i am definitely no friend of electrics)

btw.
don't come up with the idea of letting the engine run warm while stationary until the oil is at least 80°C warm.
THAT would be a huge mess and a first-class pollution.

Is the part you're looking for @Steve_uk something like this?

[202mphbusa]

they also make a HD cover that replaces the whole thing....no support needed

It would have been, but the other kit comes with new uprated springs and an adaptor that takes the rattle out of the clutch...cheers
