is there an easy way to deduce if the head is warped? I have it off the engine but if its not warped ill just clean it up and put in new gaskets, or is the warpage usually so minimal its hard to tell

Take it too a machine and have it trued regardless of warp. It will save you a lot of grief in the long run.
