Soot on the external top head
07/18/05 at 01:19:15
The other day disassembling the tank to adjust valves, I noticed all around the inlet valves cover a black soot.
I do not understand how this combustion soot can exit the chamber and be on the external engine surface. Any similar thing happened to you ? Tx Augusto.

I have a guess....unless you've seen anything leaking on the engine....
Your valve cover had a small weeping leak, and that is just road dirt stuck in the oil. Not to worry, unless you have other symptoms.

Tx Greg , but the funny thing is that is really soot, not road dirt. There is no oil on the surface , below the soot, that can grab it.
I believe that it's coming out from the inlet valve that doesen't close properly and let some combustion gas leave the chamber. But I can't understand how this soot can leave the cylinder head cover, if its coming from the valve leaking. The head cover is externally clean from oil. I do not understand it. Could come out from the spark?? Or any other place?? Augusto.
