Could a head 'warp' by lying around?
Is there a 'specif' way of storing a head? Like
storing a Crank.
I was thinking of taking a 1/4' or thicker steel plate
& mount it to the cylinder side & tourquing the
bolts/nuts to 105 ft #/inch to prevent it from warping
A four inch piece of cast iron would spontaniously warp, but a 1/4" steel
plate would stop it? I don't think so. Should be no self-warping and I
personally don't think the steel plate would help. You might want to wrap it
in
foil to protect it from the magna rays from the mother ship.

As he stared at her ample bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg
carburetors in his vintage Triumph, highly functional yet pleasingly formed,
perched prominently on top of the intake manifold, aching for experienced
hands, the small knurled caps of the oil dampeners begging to be inspected and
adjusted as
described in chapter seven of the shop manual.
