The color of the cam/springs/etc is a good give away of how the motor was used, if it had regular oil changes or non at all. To check if its warped you ahve to take it to a machine shop and they can check it because they have the correct tools for it. But to give you a small idea, take a long straight edge and see if you see anything on it.

Yea that video is funny.
