sorry flywheel.

but the block can warp, just the same as the head.

personally id do the head and block together, get the best seal on the gasket.

As mentioned above- do not fit a '37' head to an 1 1/8" crank engine.

Cotterell Facebook page is interesting, it's a while since I've seen a Delapena hone in use.

Getting back to your original enquiry I always use Mansfield engines in Mansfield. They are on the internet.

Hi Tony, meant to say just skim head, and try it first before total strip of block off crankcase ?

Getting all the studs out of the block without any breaking will be a mission too. Plenty of heat,hammering and plus gas.
And a good stud removal tool.

... and the best stud removal tool in my opinion is the Bluepoint one as illustrated.
Expensive but worth the money.

I find a week in Deox C makes stud removal much easier, just protect any machined surfaces with a liberal coating of grease.
