I still think u should help a brother out and let me buy your engine and then offer me a free fitting service :)

v5/6 STi heads use 'under bucket' shims - its quite obvious from thse pics that they have the 'over bucket' std WRX/UK Turbo style............

so no

Cheers alyn, I've been in contact with the bloke and he sent me these replys

they are std WRX/UK turbo heads from the same age car that use a solid shim ABOVE the bucket (you can see the small cutaway that allows the shim to be removed) - these are slightly larger than a std 10p piece

the pukka UNDER bucket shims sit direct onto the valve stem and are smaller than a 5p piece

not got pics to hand so have pinched some similiar pics off the net

1st pic shows the STi UNDER bucket style (this is v3/4 but same design basically)
