I saw this and had to share with you all. This is a B&S 130202 points engine. I was going through the carb and checking the points when I looked up under where the head meets the block and saw blue RTV. WTF? That heads gotta come off! Had to use my long 3/8" ratchet to get the bolts broke loose. Then pry the head off. Here's what I found.
And yes, that is a bead of that RTV between the cylinder and valves! Nasty mess! The head will get the sandpaper on glass treatment.
