Hey guys. So I received my timing tool and figured I'd check timing while I'm in the process of dismantling it. Timing seems to be good. But when I pulled the valve cover I seem to have white milky substance on the inside of the cover and over cylinder 1 also a little on the timing chain guide. Is this what I think it is and I'm looking at doing a head gasget? Pictures attached

So I did a thing today...
So I decided to work on the mini today and went in full force. Removed front end so it's easier to access everything. Apparently my dumb a** discharged the air in the process by removing a hose that was in the way but I'll cross that bridge later on. Going to start removing the turbo and exhaust manifold. I may just remove the head and check the valves. Just wanted to give everyone an update seen as yall have been really helpful so far

No update unfortunately. She's sitting all in pieces at the moment. I had surgery on my shoulder a few months ago and I got a little optimistic with recovery and ended up hurting myself taking the darn turbo out. That coupled with Florida summer heat.... But I'll get back to it in the next few weeks. I want to get it going before Christmas lol.
