Re: 4K engine possibilities

There is actually a great little website outlining what to do to extract good power from the little 4K. The bulk of it involved fitting a 3K head (some have larger ports than the 4K, and the smaller combustion chamber results in increased compression). You can pick one of those heads up for under $50, surface it for 40 and the head gasket might set you back 30 - that is a budget power up if ever I have seen one.
They are a great motor and are quasi indestructible. I had a 4K/3K hybrid KE30 for 6 years as my run around. I was most intrigued to find this website that outlined exactly what I had done some 8-9 years earlier!
