I dropped my1.8L engine recently to try to take care of a bad oil leak I've had recently. In the process of removing things off the engine to find the leak, I discovered a black deposit at the seam of the head and each cylinder. Is this deposit something I should worry about? I'm not really planning on keeping this engine long term, but I'd like to know if its on the brink of disaster or whether this is okay.

I think it's common with stock engines that have the head gaskets still in use. They should be tossed. I have the same motor, same problem. The cylinder needs to be lapped to the head for a tight seal. How bout some more details on your car? :cursor:
