Here is an image of an original - I only sprayed some fresh black paint on a
few 'scruffs' on the edges.. I am not sure what the material is but it is
spread on as if with a putty knife - about 1/4-3/8 thick - thicker in the
center than the edges. Looks like icing spread on a cake (swirls etc.). It is
light grey in color and hard but I am not sure if that is from 50 years sitting
or as original. Although I know that it is not - it looks like dried spackling
paste.

somewhere I think I have an image of just the cover. I'll look through them
tonight and forward if I do.

This may be an old question, but I didn't find anything in the archives.
What is the "stuff" on the outside of the timing chain cover? I believe it's
to reduce noise from the chain. Is there a modern alternative? Is it
supposed to be painted the same color as the cover?
