no, closed deck were fitted to some early wrxs and some early sti. do a search and there is information on how to identify them.

they are both the same, but have the exstra sorport round the water jackets.
aboth, closed decks are heched. much like the heads

as aboth to, not all the models had closed deck blocks. 95/96 were the last. so some of the early sti v2 had them, some of the type rs did to.
96, just have a check for the heching aound the block where the head bolts.
