There's really no good way to look at them and truly inspect them without pulling the heads.
I guess you could look down the PR hole in the heads, but that's not going to tell you anything.

Heads need to come off for anything lifter related pretty much. You could check for a completely collapsed lifter though by pulling the valve covers and push on the push rods and fell for a weak lifter.
