headgasket questions

I might look at a car tomorrow that snapped the serp belt, 4-cylinder. Owner was told it will need a headgasket- can I tell whether or not the HG will need to be replaced just by looking at the car? If the headgasket is shot, is it likely the head got warped/would need to be flattened?
There is no belt on it right now, so assuming there's enough juice in the battery to start the engine (and I turn it off in 20-30 seconds) will that aid in diagnosing the HG? Besides the pulleys, what else is likely to have been damaged from flying belt and pulley debris? Oil cooler lines? What about waterpump/steering pump?
Owner was told the timing cover needs to be replaced also, which seems kinda weird. Maybe they meant valve cover??
Thanks
