Do these valve seats look acceptable?

I may be buying a used set of heads, and I wanted to ensure that the existing valve seats aren't destroyed. I'd get a valve job anyway, but I don't want to end up with a junk set of heads. Do they look alright? (Why does the exhaust valve appear "sunken" into the head? Or is that just an optical illusion?)

hard to tell for sure, but i'd say they're ok. hope you aren't paying much for them from the size/shape of the chamber they don't look like anything special.

Thanks, ede. The heads are just stock L98 castings... I need another set to replace the ones that I had -- they cracked.
