Did my Valve Cover Gasket, Finally! Options

[devilsden97]

So the background, for about a year my car has been leaking small amounts of oil. (my garage floor shows it.) When i brought my car in for the inspection in november, the mechanic said i was leaking oil, and he presumes its from the valve cover gasket. So about 2 weeks ago I got a replacement gasket, and today i finally maned up, and put it in.






^top of the motor off.

While I was at AutoZone getting oil and a filter (im also going to do my oil) I picked up some Duplicolor High temp engine paint.




^ its the same color, just ones in the sun, other is in shadow....I masked off the 16valve part, and the oil, and top where the plugs are put in.

REad on for more info.

I painted my Valve cover red Looks good. I took it and off and masked it. Like i figured...i'm back on here with a problem. Except this time the symptom is way easier to describe. As soon as i turn the key (dont even have to start the engine,) both of my fans turn on. Everything else is normal. Check engine light didn't turn on or anything..

the problem isn't that radiator fan switch again?

my fans come on all the time in my other car if certain A/C sensors are unplugged/disconnected... don't know why you would've unplugged any of them to take off the valve cover though
