whats this?
Okay, Im new here so here be gentle...Anyway i ve been researching on here for about a month taking it all in..I recently bought a mx3 off of a friend for $200 in great shape, catch is, the motor is shot...supposedly a klze,but I now have my doubts, It was purchased at tiger japenese ( I have read the posts on them lol) and my friend didn't do any research..So here's the question...The heads have the kl31 XXX stamp but the cams say kl 01 on them..The intake definatly isn't a klze looks like a stock 1.8 to me...TB has K8 on it..so what is it?..long story short I dont want to buy from them so could you please send me in the right direction!!!I have the money and am ready to buy but dont want to get dooped..P.S I have tryed the search option on this site but I can't get it to work for some reason..and i live an hour east of T.O

It seems that you do have the KL-01 cammed ze (as opposed to the KL-31 cammed). They usually come with the curved neck manifold so I'm not sure why you would have the k8 intake manifold on it. Since it seems your mechanically inclined, Take a look at the piston tops to see if they are flat topped or dished. That will tell all.
There is a member on here that is around T.O. that posted he was able to get engines. I'll try and find his screen name for you.
*EDIT* ZE pistons will be flat topped ----> http://www.geocities.com/viv95pgt/klze.html
*EDIT #2* check out this thread for a few people to contact about an engine ----> http://mx-3.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=45945
