Default V4 STI or non STI Heads.

Hi,




Have my engine in bits at the moment pending a rebuild.

Can someone please help me confirm if my heads are STI or not.
The cams are LHIN and L4EX, but with only one "groove" through the middle.

Any ideas?

This thing with the single or double groove in the cams is a bit of a red herring, if they are complete as out of the factory and have the small under bucket shims they are STI heads/cams.

I've had 2 identical sets to what you have and both had come from Version 4 Type R's.
