look on the block (in between the Intake Manifold runners, or bend over the motor and look at the back of the front block just below the Valve cover) and you will see some writing on it. If it says:

KL31 101 or KL31 1A1 it is a KLZE
K8*** it is a K8 (1.8L stock GS motor)
KF*** it is a KFZE (2.0L)
KL-101 it is a KLDE (2.5L A-Spec)

DE is kl-101 and kl-1a1

check for the intake runners...if they looks square then it's a ze..round is DE K8 an KF

some ZE also came with a 7th nipple on the disty...if the disty on the engine as 7 nipples then it's a ZE..

pop the valve covers..kl31 cams are ZE even tho some ZE's have kl01..but if it says kl31 you sure it's a ZE

Thanks...

I where surfing the net, and found the KJ-ZEM engine, damn if one of those could fit in the mx3 :evillol:
But it looks like its bigger :banghead:
But a KL-ZE would do the job hehe
