the head chamber i belive is higher CR on the 4x4 , not totally sure though and the 2wd head has turbo dampner mounts
also the oil feed is from the head and not the block on a 4x4 head/engine

might be others too

Turbo Oil Feed Is in a different position, WTS sensor is a difference position.

As Ginge said, no turbo mounts on a 4x4 head.

not a clue to be honest, but i seem to remember it being the pistons not the combustion chamber, could be completely wrong though

that only applies to the early 2wd heads - later ones had large washers and 3 bolt thermostat fixings
