If there's warpage, a total of .008 inches maximum can be shaved off of both surfaces combined. It's not a big deal if just the cyl. head is warped (more likely than the block. I didn't read the threads, I'm just talking about the properties of the two blocks. The thick cast iron is less likely to deform). I had a head that was warped. My machinist took a couple thousandts off and it's fine. The front timing cover should be machined with the cyl. head block.
