Can anyone tell me condition, make, version, and what cams are in there?
Just to confirm I haven't been conned

 

You have not been conned

They are V3/4 Sti cams
If you give me numbers of the top of the valves and the casings I will be able to confirm what they are
Cheers

Rumor has it V3 are slightly more aggressive than V4. However this is almost certainly a myth and there is no difference between them.

Valve codes should be EH & IH
Head codes LHB, RHB

look the same as my v3 sti heads and cams ,pop out one of the cams and pull out a bucket it should have under bucket shim instead of the hydraulic lifters fitted in the wrx

 

Correct guys they are indeed v4 sti heads, just wanted to make sure as I have no idea in these things.
I got close ups of the numbers stamped on the cams.
Do they look in good condition? The other side of them look a bit grubby to me, will they clean up nice? Is it a problem.

 

Head gasket faces look tatty but should true up with a light skim.
Don't know if the RH head has been skimmed in the past but from your photo's the oil gallery feed on the RH head looks to be more 'exposed' than the LH head.

Cheers, as long as it's serviceable and in good use.
Seems like they were a bargain then at £225 delivered.

Got yourself a deal.

 

Again cheers you guys for the help.

 

Standard head height IIRC is 127.50mm, so you can calculate if any skimming has been done in the past.

Mick

 

Is that a problem if it has? It will need another skim anyway won't it.
