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!

What TC said: could be oil spill.

It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..

Hi-
isn't this just the old coolant residue from a previous HGF that is baked on

I dunno if you can get this stuff over there in Pomgolia, but there is nothing better over here in Oz. This stuff is absolutly bloody brilliant!
