A head may warp if engine has been overheated badly. It may also be cracked internally. If overheat occurred best to have the head checked by a machine shop after it is removed. Associated with a warped head there will typically be leakage past the head gasket (blown head gasket). There is a whole set of symptoms and diagnostics for this.
You do not mention why you suspect warped head.
