Re: SD> Factory white turbo valve covers

[Chad Brown]

I haven't really followed this thread that close, nor am I sure why people 
care if there were white valve covers from factory.  However, I have seen 
first hand a white valve cover.  It wasn't oxidized, it wasn't painted by 
someone else, it was a white valvecover.  Looks like it may have been bright 
white, but 13 years under heat turned it to an off-white.  We ended up 
taking the valvecover off and using zip-strip to get the paint off.  (We 
thought it looked dumb on a blue car)

Valve cover was on an unmollested 91 CS Daytona that was electric blue. 
Motor was a high torque 2.5 TI mitsu motor.

Hope that helps someone!

My 2 cars have factory red valve covers. ;-)
Simply put the heat, oil, age etc have made this valve cover appear white.
Go find a Ford engine painted grey (80's & up)....you'll find parts of
the engine which appear white...

IMHO the pictures on the link below are of a  faded valve cover..it was
originally silver.
I'm not saying they never did  a white VC but the one in the pcs looks 
like
many of the old faded
ones I  have seen/owned.
Thanks

How would it fade?   theres no light comming into the engine bay  and shes
haver had any major leaks or spills on it..
there was a 90 daytona es out at the u pull it yard and it was definatly a
cruddy old silver valve  cover..            the 90  spirit close buy had 
the
white valve cover..      the  spirit had well over 200K on the clock where 
as
the 90 Daytona has 53K in which  I pulled the engine for my future buildup
sence
the car was t-boned beyond  drivability..

I guess this is one of those you have to see it for yourself  deals..
they are what they  are...               its not that big of a deal..
im done with this subject..        Myth  Busted    :)
