While heads are off, anything to look for?

I have almost all my necessary parts for a head swap. While they're off of there, should I look for anything else? Anything to look for around the pistons, what would be a red flag, etc.

This is a first for me so I want to make it as productive as possible, other than the basic steps of a heads swap.

Not really, unless your worried that you might have gotten into detonation or something like that.

You can clean the pistons, change the lifters and cups if you have lots of miles on them.
