Found a set of heads locally on CL. He claims they came off a running engine. Any advice on what to ask, or obvious or hidden gotchas? Or is it pretty unavoidable that you're taking a roll of the dice?

Rolling the dice with out disassembly. Look for cracks around the spark plug hole and check around valve seat for loose material. Use steel ruler to check deck for straightness. Check valve stems for wear.
