[QUOTE=Diesel911;3028798]If you have never had the Valve Cover off before it could be that who ever did the previous valve adjustment used Chalk to mark which Valves He/She adjusted.

I have set the valves on this car many times and never saw these deposits, always the same oil. What could have changed? Thanks for the reply and the info on the timing.
