    stock valve covers color scheme

    My 1989 supra came fitted with a 7mge engine. I noticed that the valve covers were black with red lettering. It looks stock to me. Ive only seen 7mge engines with gray valve covers until i saw mine. Did Toyota ever produce 7mge engines with a black color scheme?
