look for anything wrong with them, stripped bolts, discolored chambers, etc, but from the pics it looks fine. But double check the threading on all the bolts a few times to make sure there fine. Also see if there is a local shop that the two of you can go too to have them look at them and you can pay whatever, thats probably your safest and easiest best. Because there going to need to redo the valve seal, they might need to do other things also. But they look very very clean, and like very nice heads. I would buy them in a heart beat.
