O.K. , # 1 looks like it's been burning a bit of oil , # 2 cylinder looks to be scored a little bit .
Junkyard testing tip : turn cam until both valves have clearance and position the head so the ports are facing _up_ , have good light on the combustion chamber and use a squirt bottle full of gasoline to fill the ports , beginning with the intake port each time , it no leakage around the valve , it's fine , 100 % good to go . if some seeping & wetness appears around the valve after a while , it's maginal , plan on valve re facing soon but should still run O.K. .
See a droplet of gas running out ? the valve & seat are burned and must be repaired before re assembly .
This test works really well when buying used heads in junkyards etc.
I hope my Farm / Used Car /Junkyard methods don't offend anyone ,this is how it is done in the real world .
