Pour some gas into the ports and hold up the head so the ports are verticle.If gas pours out around the valve and seats they are not sealing good. A little bit of seepage is normal but it should not pour out.

No simple way without disassembling everything. Some fine valve grinding compound and a suction cup twirler can the used to check the mating of the valves & seats.
