Regardless of head issues, is there any reason I should be concerned about the block? Seems the head is what sees the most extreme temps.
This has been an interesting exercise in troubleshooting. I’ve not had to do this on a 4-stroke engine before (let alone a car).

when you take the engine head off, you can use a flat-edge and feeler gauge to measure for block warpage and the maximum variance will be listed in the engine specifications. it usually doesn't happen as it's most often the head that warps.
