Hi all

This brownish stuff was present when I bought the car. Looking at it it isn’t easy to clean off almost like a gel or gloppy stuff. My guess is it has been there a while. Remnant of or sign of a hgf?

Regards

John

Clean it off and if it doesn't reappear it doesn't matter what it is.

After doing some research this evening, I believe it is some of the gasket sealing stuff for the cam carrier?

I think the cam cover uses gloop doesn't it rather than a traditional 'gasket'? Pretty sure mine is the same and Russell had my engine apart so it must be correct!
