You mean the stuff Jonmac described as "looking like the last of an old 
batch of bondo applied with a wooden spoon by someone wearing a 
blindfold"... or words to that affect.

FWIW and in spite of what some sources claim, I believe that not all TRs 
came with this glop on the timing cover.  Neither of my cars have it and 
from what I know of their history there was never anyone who would have 
gone to the trouble of removing it.
