Look out for rust of course, and electrical, and overheating issues.
Pull the oil-fill cap on the valve cover with the engine idling, and it should suck a piece of paper over the hole. There shouldn't be any smoke or pressure coming out of it as that is a sign of a bad CCV system, or blow-by (tired engine).The latter would indicate a needed engine rebuild.
