funny you should ask. i measured immediately, and then the next day (both ways- head and deck plate). i had other things going on. it wasn't my plan. everything measured the same both times.
for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?

yes. use the same gasket you're going to assemble the engine with. if you're using head bolts (not studs), washers and/or spacers need to be used to assure the same thread engagement as the head you'll be using. details details.

yes. it was bored with no plate. they are darn near perfect with nothing torqued to the block. the distortion varied significantly from cylinder to cylinder. a couple of 'em were almost .002 out. the distortion is worst at the top of the cylinders, adjacent to each head bolt hole.
