Yah. The 4K is a pretty damned ballsless thing really speaking, but hey I love them and still have one in my pizza delivery car Playing round with a 3K head, cam, exhaust and carb will give it a bit of a kick in the arse, as will replacing it with a 5/7K - its all just a matter of whether you wanna spend that much on it! I leave mine standard, because that way its (nearly) unbreakable, no worries with busted rods from too many revs etc. I love the fact that you can (try to!) let loose on grass/gravel/mud with the car, holding it at max revs in 2nd/3rd gear for minutes at a time, and the bloody thing refuses to even overheat. Long as I feed it a bit of oil occasionally, and ignore those horrible rattling noises, it just keeeeps on going, very slowly. Personally though I'd replace it with a 4ag if you're looking to get any great gains - screwing round with exhaust/carbs only does SO much (I did it on previous 4k's i've had, havent even bothered on this one). Still, I always love to hear peoples ideas like plugging vacuum hoses, cornflakes box cold air intake or running it on various forms of vegetable matter. In fact, lets start a thread of K engine stories, about how people have screwed an an astonishing 100% power increase (whats twice nothing? 2 thirds of stuff all!) and, best of all, how people have KILLED K engines [Report message to a moderator]
