Ive not seen the black sooty stuff before. How does it feel? Gritty? Or just like residue in the oil? Maybe worth a change of oil?

Headgasket 100% the right way up? As if it's upside down it blocks that top oilway so won't want to run it for long like this

Have you cleaned the black stuff off? Does it while off from the head?
