Hey I got the same curved neck ZE like the picture above but mine has kl31 1a1 and kl31 101 heads with kl-01 camshafts. I thought this was the ZE version not the regular millenia engine with kl 101 and 1a1 heads :confused2:
It's been posted several times that the newer JDM KLZE engines from Millenias, with 9.2:1 CR and 187hp, have KL101 and KL1A1 on the heads, including a post from Bastian who got the engine straight from Japan (for sure - he imported it personally).

CR is not determined solely by the heads, but also by the crank throw and the pistons.

You have the older KLZE with the higher CR.
Re-shaped and re-sized gearshift lever. Best driveability mod you can do!
Extra thick soundproofing in the boot (trunk) to quieten my stainless steel exhaust system :)

You have the older KLZE with the higher CR. As the supply of older engines dries up, more and more people are going to be getting the 187hp models.
