Which version heads are they by the way? This engine that I'm looking at is a sti 2 one apparently.

You would need to remove a camshaft and the bucket to look under it and see if it's shimmed or hydraulic

I'm not that bothered whether they are hydraulic as long as I know it's sti and not wrx and as long as the tappets don't rattle.
