looks warped without using a straight edge it must be a lot.

i would recommend having your machinist straightening it. it is not hard. he can put it on a "bending device" which probably has a proper name that i dont know, which will put pressure in a precise way, and put it in the oven over night. letting the bolts straighten it seems a little shakey to me.
