Default What should I look out for, or be weary of when buying used heads?

Just curious as to what I should be weary of when looking at used heads for an LSx engine..?

Do these things still warp?

Badly marred gasket surfaces. Cracks, especially on ported stock castings. Bad valve guides (loose or worn), seals, springs, etc.
