My guess is it's nothing to do with the valves after seeing rw's pictures.
Definitely a water issue, I thought to start with maybe valves but the white stuff is not dry but it is wet and frothy.
Looking at the inside of the oil filler cap proves that it is 100% water in oil, just need to find out how/why its getting in there. head gasket or cracked block, could be either.
And for the sludgy foam to be getting onto the exhaust is worrying.
I am amazed that the damn thing even ran with that amount of stuff coming out of the exhaust and not just the foam but oil as well, it had to be passing through the combustion chambers, i can see no other way it could get there as the exhaust is only connection to the engine via the combustion chambers.
Good luck sorting it rw, my condolences mate, I use the word condolences begrudgingly as it a term that is only usually used when speaking of a death or bereavement. :look
Best case scenario is:
I'm going to stick my neck out here and plump for the cylinder head cracked, (Especially as it sounds like it had possibly been running low on coolant because of the leak) that is the most likely/direct way both oil and water are going to enter the combustion chambers, so maybe a new head and a bit of surgery will have the patient up and about again in no time . Lets hope so and we can forget the condolences.
