As Richard stated, Chrysler never used a white valve cover new from the factory, period.
I have followed this thread some and having worked at a dealer from the time the first turbo cars came out in '84 all the way till last year I have seen the full range of factory turbo cars come thru the dealer both new and for service, TI, TII, TIII, VNT and the occasional Mazi powered cars. Never a white valve cover, not one at all. The later covers starting around '89 would turn white with age and cleaning but they came new a silver finish. Hope this helps to dispel the urban myth being started here.
