Best suggestion is to pull yah head off, remove a valve and take them (head and valve) into who ever you are buying the replacement head off to get the correct one....
Saves all the guess work...

Also they mentioned the TE was the later model, earlier one was designated 1KZ-T.

Yea, Don't know if we have mech ones in NZ, would be good though.

You'll have to measure them to be 100% sure which you have.
