What questions to ask when buying a used cylinder head?
I need to replace my cylinder head and I am looking to buy a used TUPY 0331 head. What questions should I ask to get the best cylinder head? I am concerned about the valves (should I be?), but there may be other concerns I am not even thinking of. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The TUPY head is not the same as the 0331 head, as the original poster wonders.
Take a magnifying glass and a good strong LED flashlight to examine the head for cracks as best as you can.
As in all things, ultimately it is "buyer beware". A used head is always a crap shoot.
