It's always a bit worrying what you find when taking your engine apart. I don't think the heads have ever been off, I've never had to use so much force to loosen the head bolts before. Most looked good, pistons look like new, the wear ring is invible, feels non-existent. Only thing worrying were the pushrods, I put new in when I changed the cam in 2008, had to because of length. Two of them were obviously bent. Intake on 2 was 3mm bent, intake on 3 was 1mm bent, and maybe others. I'm not going to reuse them anyway, but is this a sign of something bad? I don't think the cam is bad, and I just took out the 16 lifters and checked the bottom, looked good. I doubt this engine has been above 5500 rpm since that cam and those pushrods were put in. Well maybe a few times at Spa...

If I remember right, one of the pushrods I discarded when changing the cam in 2008 was also bent
Why do they bend? I've never had a bent pushrod in any engine before.
