If the heads have been hot tanked there shouldn't be any left.

To find out look down in there and see how it looks. It is probably good to go.

MAKE SURE all that crap is off, or you won't get a good seal, and then you're screwed about umm, 20k down the road. Don't ask me how I know this....

Let's just say if it happens in the middle of BFE and your only option is the stealership, you better have an extra $2500 laying around...
