The sti 5 heads will have shims under the bucket(so will look like solid lifters from the top) and the bolts that hold the inlet manifold go diagonally across each inlet port as opposed to all 4 in a straight line.Not sure about sti2 heads..

Version 2 will have hydraulic lifters, Some version 2 Ra may have top hat shims iirc.

think they are v3/4 sti heads as they have under bucket shims, but inlet bolt holes are in a straight line.
