    I need some specific buckets, if you have some lying around that you dont mind parting with, I'd be willing to take them, or trade you some of mine. Reply with sizes that you have, if you got em.

    Well, you get the 23 that I haven't used back, which includes alot of yours. Yours were all a little bit too big. I'm 7 short of a full load :(.

    Sizes needed if available:

    475x4
    480x2
    486
    493

    The 475's I can use just one I guess and do lash checks one at a time, but the more the merrier. +/-.001 on the measurement for those...just trying to get close so I know what I need.

    The buckets go over the springs/valves/retainers and it is what your camshaft lobe makes contact with inside the head. In 02-03 WRX heads, they had shimmed buckets, where the buckets were all the same size and you simply used a shim to set the lash. On the shimless buckets, the bucket has a nub inside that rests on the valve top, this nub can be of varying thicknesses and thus gets rid of the need for a shim.
