Hi ya,

I have a 94 N/A 850 and i did have this type of symptom you describe on the head of the engine. Its not a porblem its the lacquer that is applied to the engine to stop the corrision. It dulls over time and crack in places.

I initially tried cleaning it with resin polish but i didn't get far. After seem a friend's 960 who had totally polish his inners i decided to have ago myself. The only problem once you do this is you have to keep it waxed otherwise the polish bit can corrude unfortunately.
