Does anybody have a link to a kit or a write-up for installing a remote start on a diesel/manual 90 series?

Just a bit of diesel trivia. I've noticed early Toyota diesel valves will say 'HZ', 'KZ' or 'L' on them which usually indicates engine family. But then I've seen pictures where they're mixed in a given engine. For heck of it, I looked up these part numbers. 2LTE exhaust valve 13715-54040...
