I'm in the middle of cleaning/ prepping my engine for paint and I noticed some black gunk around the head gasket. Just wanted an opinion on if it looks concerning and if I should change it. I have a whole gasket kit, just don't want to mess with it if it's still fine. The black stuff seems to be alittle bit of oil mixed with alot of dirt. I just got the bike and have ridden it once, it seemed to run good, and compression is 150 on both cylinders. Thank you
