Default 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.

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