Wal-Mart did it again. Overfilling the oil is hell on the seals. Here, I replace the valve cover gasket. Since I'm in here, I decided to replace the spark plugs and PCV valve.
Another note: after torquing down the cover, I pinched the temp gauge wire on the opposite end of the camera. After the engine heated up, it melted the insulation and shorted the sensor. The temp gauge instantly rose to HOT. This was not a gradual rise - it was instantaneous after turning the ignition key. I thought it might be the thermostat because the lower hose was cold; however, it was about 15 degrees outside at the time. The coolant probably didn't cycle. Always be sure to DOUBLE CHECK for pinched wires that might stray from the wire harness.
