I am in agreement with Dave (O_D) and I can't remember who posted a while back that they had put their head on a flat surface, with blocks under both ends and a nominal weight centered on top (40 or 50#'s) and then checked the head for warpage and found it had distorted by ten or so thou. His comment was (I'm paraphrasing here...) 'with 23 head studs all pulling the head down to the block at 65 foot pounds, I found something else to worry about'. Unless the block is significantly warped or, as Dave says, chipped or corroded, machining should be a last resort. Chris
