DOHC zc , which one?

Guys I am getting a dohc zc for my crx soon. What motor would you guys recommend the black top zc or the European Zc with the white timing belt cover. I understand the European zc may be newer.

I have all brochures from both Europe and Japan, both engines should have the same performance. Pick the engine with the higher compression.

Either. They are both OLD and should probably get some good maintenance done before installation.
