As Hector says . . . use a straight edge to check flatness, laid across opposing corners, first 1&3, then 2&4 (the corners, not the chambers). Even if your "straight" edge isn't straight, any gap to the center of the head should be identical. Taking it to a good machine shop may give you more assurance, and porting and polishing would be super, but everything just takes time and coinage. Your call.
