What is this on my Piston Cover?
I've had my volvo 240 dl for about two years now. There always been this weird substance on the edge of my engine...on top of the piston cover I believe...it is some kind of gummy like substance. I'm scared to remove it...scared it might be covering a hole or something. Does anyone know? Is there engine damage and this is some kind of cover up? Should I try to remove it?

If you are curious, you could take the rocker cover off, thoroughly degrease it and dig that stuff off it.
If you have to re fill a crack or hole, thoroughly degrease the area with paint thinners, abrade the alloy till it is bright with 36 grit sandpaper and have some high temp epoxy already mixed to fill the hole.
Or, you can have the hole welded.
