low or high compression?
i recently places a ZE in my mx, and gotta say... its sweet
but what i was wondering, how can i see if i have a high or low compression ZE??? ( maybe thinking about boosting)
it's a curved neck ZE, but how can i tell for sure if it is high or low compression? do i need to get the head off?

it came with the curved neck...mx3autozam wrote:did it come with curve neck or straight neck manifold and what cams were in it?
KL31 is written on the cams if i think about it, when i changed the valve gaskets i looked at it, and believe it was KL-31..

so kl31 cam is for highe compression, and KL.. is for low?mx3autozam wrote:If it has kl31 cams and its a curve neck, then someone swaped the curve neck on it. therefore its got the 10.0:1 compression pistons
there is not a possibility to boost on the high compression at tall?

yes there is a way... Your rods and valve retainers are weak though... You can build a kl-de/ZE hybrid and then turbo it. Or just run your ZE at 6psi max stock internals(not much safe over 30k miles...) Go on probetalk, forced induction section, and reaD!(archives)
Looking to buy low price KL-DE engine in canada if possible under 200k kilos... sned me a pm!
