Not 100% sure, I havent looked at the pistons yet, the guy told me it has flat top pistons, but he could have been lying, so well see.

If you dont want to open up the engine.....
Not the most scientific way, but....Take a long phillips screwdriver through the sparkplug hole down to the base of the cylinder wall, softly drag it across the top of the piston. Since the 9 has flat top and the 4 has dished with a (t) pattern on the top, you will most certainly feel if its the 4 piston.
