Here are a few photos of the late model ZE. Notice the KLG4 Style valve covers:

Factory Sealant -good indication that it has never been cracked open:

Cam sensor Provisions:

They are not stamped KLG4 in black ink like typical KLG4 heads are -but from what I can see -they are definitely KLG4 castings. Score!
Here is an oddity -no crank sensor:

They must have moved everything to the disty. There is no cam sensor (even though there are provisions) and no crank mounted crank sensor (just a hole plug).

I was not wanting brown sludge inside -and wishing for a light golden color -but this is what I found:

Score! I would have to give this seller a 3-thumbs up
Obviously -they are KL01 cams -but that is OK cause Colts are on the way!Last edited by KLZE Porsche; February 28, 2016, 07:36 AM.Success is a measure of determination!

I am amazed, confused, excited, and a little worried all in one lol. I want to ask where to get one but better question is like you said, WTH is it out of?! and replacement parts? lol1995 Probe GT.

As far as the G4 heads go -I have long been a fan of the G4 heads. I still have not been able to crack open the bottom end to check to see if it has G4. KL01, or KL31 crank. If it has the G4 cast iron crank then that would be the only down side so far. I was hoping to get another forged steely and so hopefully that will pan out.
P.S. Anyone know where you can buy a brand new 7 place disty cap?Last edited by KLZE Porsche; February 29, 2016, 10:12 AM.Success is a measure of determination!

It isn't anything against foreign sellers -but just that shipping is more -and if you run into any kind of problem -it costs a lot more for either the seller or buyer to make it right. Someone always looses.Last edited by KLZE Porsche; February 29, 2016, 11:08 AM.Success is a measure of determination!

Also, why no crank sensor? Don't OBDII cars rely more on the crank sensors to maintain ignition timing?

Something look off about that ZE disty but I cant quite put my finger on it. With the lack of a crank sensor it would not surprise me if it was set up like a 93-94 with both single and 6 tooth Hall sensors. I have one sitting in the garage ill compare it to when I get home.Jim K.

there's a lot that doesn't add up on that engine.....the newer style cam caps coupled with DE cams and the castings on the heads....what is the codes stamped on the heads?
The valve cover is also found on millenia engines....that's where I've pulled them from.
I'd wonder if it was a performance swap in japan to switch to the straight neck intake on a DE-ish motor....maybe it was a curve neck and someone swapped the straight neck on it.'94 teal w/black int. some sort of sts, 65mm DE TB full KL31 ZE, CAI, Phenolyc spacers, mx3 flywheel, pacesetter headers, 2.5" exhaust, stainless brake lines, MS and LC-1.

Just look for the tale-tale valve covers. This engine looked too low of mileage to have undergone a performance swap. The residual oil looks like it was either changed very frequently -or was the original oil -but just extremely low miles. Only the piston tops and rings will tell me approximately how many miles it has.
With the newfangled disty setup -I am thinking either a late model Exedos or Capella. The Exedos was normally a curved neck if I am correct because it was the JDM equivalent of the US Millenia. However -the Capella was the JDM equivalent of the 626 and could likely have had the long neck. It was produced through 2002.
P.S. I just looked on ebay and there are two more engines exactly like it from a different seller than the one I bought mine from. So I don't think it is an extremely rare occurrence.Last edited by KLZE Porsche; March 1, 2016, 12:09 AM.Success is a measure of determination!
