Cylinder heads are typically checked for warping using a straightedge and feeler gauges. A straightedge is placed across the surface of the cylinder head, and any gaps between the straightedge and the head can be measured with feeler gauges. If the gap exceeds the manufacturer's specified tolerance, the head is considered warped and may require machining or replacement. Additionally, some shops may use a dial indicator for a more precise measurement of surface flatness.
No, not necessarily. They should however be checked with a straight edge and feeler gauges for warping. If found to be warped then yes they may need to be resurfaced (at a competent machine shop)
Cylinder heads can be bought in bulk from Sportflo in South Africa or try American Cylinder heads if based in the US. For other buyers try Bridge Cylinder Heads in Cheshire, UK.

There are two cylinder heads on a V6 3.1L engine.
When removing cylinder heads, the fasteners should be removed in a specific sequence to avoid warping the head. Typically, this involves loosening the bolts in a crisscross pattern, starting from the center and working outward. This helps evenly distribute the stress across the head as the bolts are loosened. Always consult the specific vehicle's service manual for the correct order and specifications.

what is the torque pattern for ford 302 heads?
These should be double hump heads. They are very sought after heads.
Take heads off and replace the gaskets. Make sure to check the heads for warping. Get a Haynes Manuel for step by step info.
I put an Edelbrock Torquer manifold on my 302 in a 1977 Cobra II Mustang , it didn't have a back water jacket and later my stock heads warped ( I SUSPECT that was the cause of the heads warping )
One, the cylinder head.
