what makes them so bad?

Are you looking at buying Louis's MadWRX?) He is asking $400 for the complete heads including the pullies and covers. This is a good price. They usually go for $600-750. I can personally tell you that his heads are in OK condition. The cam journals have a few scratches from the junk that made it's way into the oil when he popped his piston. It is nothing that some fine grit paper or a polishing stone can't remedy.

OR,
I have a set of EJ20G LegacyGT heads for sale. They are off of a '93. They are in immaculate condition, and I found that the intake ports on them were about 30-40% larger than the WRX EJ205 heads. I can get 2 fingers into each port on them. The valve sizes and exhaust port sizes are identical. I am selling mine complete with covers, pullies, intake manifold, injectors, rails, intake plumbing, and AWIC for $500. Since you are local you are welcome to come by and see them. Dizzy and I should be in the garage tonight trying to finish up his car, so you can come by and look at them. Just drop me a PM if you are interested.

It has been brought to my attention that the cylinder head volume on these is 57cc. At first I didn't beleive it, but seeing the chamber, I think this is accurate. To keep a reasonable CR on your EJ22T block you would need to run a cometic metal HG or a phaseII EJ22 thin HG....

do you know what the compression ratio would be with these heads? also what size bore they are designed to sit on top of?

Does a Newer wrx intake manifold bolt up to these heads?
-max

Unless you are using a different computer, you can't use the wrx intake manifold. It lacks the IAC and the throttle position sensor is different i believe.
