you can check if it's warped by taking a long metal ruler and put it corner to corner on the bottom and make sure it's all flat. but internally just

Visually inspect it for corrosion,cracks etc then try putting a long straight edge across it to check for warps as cherroneballs said.
Unless I misunderstood you said it already needs valve stem seals so when you pull it down to replace them you can remove the valves,clean them lap them and replace the seals.
