If you really want to check them blow compressed air around where each valve meets the seat and watch for bubbles in the solvent in the ports. ;)
Still recovering,some days are better than others.

Theres nothing wrong doing it that way to check a used head,or one thats been sitting around a while.
I also do it after a valve job with the compressed air to double check things. ;)
Its been done since the beginning of time.
