I have a 65 Sprite, HAN8L The valve cover is the olive green the fan is yellow and t /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gifhe rest of the engine is gold. Looks original,is that possible. I cannot find another color underneath. If this is not original what color should it be? Olive all over?
 
Mark,the gold indicates that it was replaced with a factory rebuilt "Gold Seal" engine at some point in it's life. It's a valid color, but the standard engine color was the MOWOG green. The yellow fan is correct.
