Important: Two cylinder head versions exist for the 1KZ-TE engine — identified by your piston type. Early model pistons have a single large kidney-shaped valve relief and suit the cylinder head with valves sitting 1mm below the head face. Later model pistons have two distinct valve relief pockets and suit the cylinder head with valves flush with the head face — this is the most common version and the head we supply. Refer to the piston identification images below. Not sure which you have? After ordering we will contact you to confirm your version before dispatch.
