After a significant wait, I finally received my replacement B18 head today. Nearly four weeks to come 290 miles to me.

I got it for $20.00 plus $25.00 shipping and I wanted it because it supposedly had a simple valve job. I dunno, but I figure $45.00 is cheaper than paying for a valve job on one of my existing heads. It was worth the price for the gamble.

So, I need to check this over before I risk installing it. What should I be looking for to indicate a valve job? I figure I should remove the valves and check for any sign of valve grinding or (hopefully) hardened seats. Is there anything else I should be checking for?
