KLZE - KFZE



  • Looks like a KLZE to me, KFZE looks similar though.

    Very few KFZE MX-6's exist in UK.

    In the 'V' down on the side walls of the heads you'll see KL31 stamped.



  • heya, Thanks for the help, It turns out 2 polish guys are trying to lie me into sellng it cheap so I gave them a big tablet full of F*$k offs , The inlets are square although the picture does not show it properly and everything is original on it, I have found the KFZE seems popular in fords but cannot really find many mazdas of that age with them in.

    Anyway I have relisted it on fleabay and the offer for the whole car to a club member is still open.



  • the kfze has k8 head with different cams and valves.
    look in my project thread man and you'll see a disected kfze

    How can a 2.0l engine have 1.8l heads?



  • i didnt design the engine, but the kfze i took out of a car had k8 heads which had kf cams k8 exhaust valves and kf intake valves the engine ran and pulled 168bhp before i got it





  • As a child, did you try to fit the cube in the round hole? How the hell do you suppose a 2 liter piston fits in a 1.8 liter head? Dont you mean the valve covers?



  • you mean the cylnder block?

    the heads have the valves camshafts etc the block has the pistons, crankshaft etc. the block is kf but the heads are k8



  • Yeah but arent the cylinders from a k8 a different diameter than the cylinders from a kf? Or is the difference just in the height of the piston itself?
    If the diameter of the cylinder is different, I cant imagine they put a head with smaller diameters on larger cylinders.. The valve champers should have the same diameters as the cylinder itself right?



  • i havent dissasembled the k8 and the piston should never get near the head mate,

    has anyone a k8 piston around?
    the kf piston is 77mm by 45mm

    and the rod is 110 from the bottom of the gudgeon to the top of the bearing journal



  • So if a kfze head has different cams to a K8 but the same heads will you get an improvement from sticking kfze heads on a K8



  • i dunno mate
