mechanic phoned a few days ago to say that my head gasket was fine and the emulsified oil was caused from o ring near water pump had got out of place BUT the more concernign part of the conversation was this....... There was soo much f#!$'n silicone used to put the bike back together when the piston and barrel was put in 500 mile ago that it had blocked oil feeds and its amazing it didnt blow on me!
Said that the filter was dry from that feed being blocked and so far he had pulled half a tube of sealant out of the engine.
He is currently flushing all the feeds out with compressed air and wire.
The 3 liner o rings were burnt away and need replaced. Other than that the engine looks fine and with new main bearings it should go back together fine, even better.
Its a blessing the water o ring gave when it did or things could have been allot worse
Wheels are polished and frame is going black. Should all be up and running next week
