I have two 4k's. One is in my car and the other one makes a nice door stop. They are both running. The one in my car is a 4k but I'm trying to figure out whether or not the other one is a 4k-u which is the japanese model I believe? and I think it has higher compression head? Correct me if I'm wrong.
How can I tell if it is definately a 4k-u or not? It has japanese stickers on which leads me to believe it is a 4k-u.

Take the head off and look at the pistons. 4K-U's are dished with a flat head. Its only 8 bolts

They have a little bit more torque than a standard 4K, but not so much more that its worth the half hour to swap engines 
Swap the heads, then you'll have some fun
dont actually do this, unless you want 15:1 compression or 7:1

I had a 4K-J out of a KP61, those things are nuts! Totally standard, was much faster than any other 4K I've ever driven, although the only thing I could see different was the emissions gear?

4K-U also came in 2 versions as I understand, the "twin squish" heron head type combustion chamber, and a regular type.
The twin squish I believe is the later type, reputedly the gruntiest 4K with a whopping 74 Toyota-hp.
