Heads - Shim under or over bucket
All,
How the hell do you tell if heads are shim over or under bucket, I am looking to buy some V6 Sti heads off eBay but don't want to get stuck with wrong heads!! Can you tell by looking at a photo of them? cheers Last edited by STI325V6; 07-01-2011 at 04:11 PM.

or the other favorite " Apparently they are STi" ........? Hate fuckers that try to make an item sound more appealing without actually making a false statement.

^^Doug, he has since sent me an email stating that the heads are 100% shim under bucket, but the photos don't lie.
This is all getting too hard, I want heads as I can keep my old, perfectly good Sti engine complete, will make it easier to sell!! Any solutions for me mate, is it a big job to convert normal 99/00 heads to shim under? cheers
